Take her to the vet and have her examined. She may have an infection. Often cats with a bad diet get dental problems, You have had her 12 years, do the right thing and get her checked out so she can be OK, I had a cat that lived to 16.

Older animals do lose teeth. It will not grow back, they are permanents. Do take your cat to the vet for the bleeding. not a lot can be done for the tooth.

For now try to stop the bleeding, and then get her to the vet asap. Did she hurt herself or did the tooth just fall out? At her age it really could be something to worry about. I wish you the best.

I would suggest getting the cat to a vet ASAP. In the meantime, try to stop the bleeding if possible.

Dear God, THE VET of course.
get a clean cotton and press it gently to the cat's gum to stop the bleeding. DON"T press too hard, you will end up killing your cat!
the vet will take care of the rest...

cats are prone to tooth decay and gum disease. Kitty is probably having trouble eating. I would schedule a vet visit ASAP

It may have been absessed and infected and that is why it fell out..your cat may need some antibioitics, so you should take it to the vet to get it checked out.

She needs to go to the vet and have her gums looked at and probably cleaned.

A 12 year old cat that lost a tooth needs about 1 cc of sodium pentanamide.

I'll say what everyone else on here has said. Take it to the vet. I don't think it's life threatening. But you might just to be safe
