I was wondering how bad these seem to be and if you think he'll eventually need them pulled. Attached are photos of each side. FWIW, I brush his teeth about once a week. Think I should do so more often? By the way, they've been this way for quite some time.

It is impossible to tell what is wrong with a tooth from a photo and I don't think any vet would give you an answer. You really need to have a vet look at it if you think there is something wrong with the tooth. If your dog is having a
hard time eating hard food like a dog cookie I would bring it to the vet. Your dog could get an infection if the tooth is bad.
