I wouldn't let him lick it, just in case. Some say that a dog's mouth is clean and its saliva has anti-bacterial qualities, but that is not strictly true. A dog that constantly licks at an open wound prevents it from healing over, and will likely become infected. It is highly recommended to take your dog to the vet immediately, as the vet can prescribe medicine that will help keep infection at bay.
