Chipped Tooth

[Fady]

Hi all, I noticed today that my 4 month old staffy has chipped one of his canine teeth (top right).

It doesn't seem to be bothering him and he's eating and behaving normally.

It's a baby tooth so will it just fall out as he teethes and be ok, or should I be seeing my vet?

I'm not sure how it happened, Ive only been giving him what I thought were the softer bones (chicken drumsticks, wings, frames etc), no beef or lamb bones yet because I was worried about this happening.

Any advice would be great,

Fady

If it's a baby tooth, and it's not bothering him, then just leave it.

Don't waste your money at the Vet. Just wait for it to fall out of its own accord.

Thanks Julie, Ill just keep an extra close eye on him until it falls out.
