Top front teeth separated slightly

[andisafc]

Hi, hope everyone is well? After a bit of advice, I’ve noticed Brambles too front teeth are slightly parted, he has food stuck in the top (as does our other pigs but his teeth are ok). I’ve tried getting the food out but it hasn’t helped. I can’t see any swelling or redness above or behind. Do you think he needs to be seen by a vet? His teeth don’t feel loose. Thanks in advance x

hi

As long as the dental system is balanced and the incisors abrade against each other as they should, then apart from food having a bit more of a tendency of wedging in th gap, it hould not be a major problem. Gappy front teeth happen.
