broken tooth

[Dreamincolr]

Just curious about the whole broken tooth thing. Stella...ontop of everything else, has broken a tooth. I dont know how or anything :( So will a vet clip it or do i have to pay for a visit and how many times is this going to need to be done? Basicly is it going to cost a vet visit once a month is what I need to know. Its not that i wont do it but i need to start setting mroe money aside if his is the case. im calling the vet tonight but any advicce really would help. I just dont know. Thanks?

Well, if she has broken a tooth, I would think that instead of getting it clipped, that might break it even more, so she probably will get it removed by surgery. Call a vet though, ASAP. Good luck!

A broken tooth should not need clipping unless it has sharp edges that may harm to mouth. The tooth opposite the broken one may need clipping as it wont wear down correctly.

If this is just a broken tooth, then perhaps just one clipping session would do while the broken tooth grows and the teeth re-align.

Without knowing how badly broken the tooth is it is hard to say what care the tooth with need.
