Broken tooth?

[danuutka]

It’s a never ending adventure in this household I’ve never had a piggy break a tooth, and I woke up to Ozzie being a little snaggle tooth piggy...

He’s eating and drinking normally, and is acting his typical mischievous self. Is there anything I need to do for him?

If he is eating and drinking normally and not losing any weight, you don’t need to do anything and the tooth should grow back in time. Just keep an eye on his weight

Just see whether the tooth stump is sitting firmly in the gum or whether it is wobbly. In the first case, the tooth will grow back within 1-2 weeks and things will normalise on their own once all teeth get to work against each other again. As he has still got three teeth that are fine, he won't need any extra support.

If the tooth is wobbly or there is bleeding, then you may want to see your vet. It means that it has snapped somewhere be below the gum. Incisors are about 4 cm long and run along the upper and lower jaw to roots just in front of the back teeth.
