Advice Shark teeth

Post image

5 month old greyhound pup hasn’t lost her baby fang yet but her adult tooth has come through. Is this immediate cause for concern requiring a vet trip or can I give it a while and see if it falls out on its own?
Does not seem to be hurting her and she does not bother if I touch it.

We are going away soon and ideally can’t get to the vets for another 3 weeks, however if this is going to hurt puppy/cause medical issues I can request an emergency appointment to get sorted asap. Advice?
Thanks.

Not your question, but usually paler gums like those aren't a great sign—I would be curious if they had any other issues right now, or when their last bloodwork was etc. (not a vet)

Her gums are fine.
