Broken tooth

Q: My 12-week old puppy just chipped a lower canine tooth and it bled for a bit. She’s still chewing on toys and food as if nothing happened. Is it typically recommended that the tooth be extracted or simply wait for it to fall out? I understand that there’s a chance for it to get infected.

A: Most likely you can just let is fall out.  The center incisors are usually replaced around 4 months.  Can you send a picture?
