HI, probably everyone has had this problem one time or another. Usually the vet will QUICKLY slit the area where the tooth is going into the upper gum, to give the dog relief from pain. The dog does not even feel the cut, it is fast and painless. This gives the tooth room to continue to grow correctly.

My question to the list is my girls baby teeth came out and all her teeth came in and look good except for the one bottom canine, which last week when I checked her teeth both bottom canine's where just about1/8 - 1/4 in thru the gum,,checked her last night and the one canine is looking good so far no problems,, the other canine is coming up on the inside of her top canine and putting a dent in the roof of her mouth ,,gums are still a bit swollen but am worried that this tooth may not be able to correct itself,,has anyone ever had this problem or ever encountered it..Private reply's are fine so the list don't get too congested to _RegalShelt1@xxxxxxxx (mailto:RegalShelt1@xxxxxxx) Thanks in advance Dee Regal Shelties Cambria, NY 14108 www.geocities.com/regalshelties He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
