The pup has broken one of her canines chewing on the crate bars. (does not do that now) It is not at the gum, but in the middle. It seems craked with the tip broken off, I believe that the pulp is exposed. It does not bother her at all.
The veterinarian told me that "the tooth needs to come out, because it will affect the adult enamel" and neglected to give me anymore information.... affect how?

So its the puppy tooth not the adult tooth right? I don't know how it'll effect the adult enamel, but I would have the tooth pulled anyway, it's a puppy tooth, no big deal... but if it would avoid there being any risk with adult tooth development then it's worth it IMO.
I reccomend seeing if there is a canine dental specialist anywere near you, I drove 2 hours to get to one here and it was very worth the effort. They know a heck of alot more than a regular vet does... regular vet's usually only give the "pull it" option -- with a puppy tooth though, they're certainly not gonna cap it, but they will at least be able to tell you exactly what you SHOULD do. Also dogs don't really show pain with teeth injuries, but it could very well still hurt them. I would put the dog on some type of pain killer till the issue can be resolved. But my best advice to you is hunt down a canine dentist.
