it will eventually turn black because it's dead. You'll probably need to get a veneer or laminate put over it.

I would want this horse examined again by a vet or equine dentist. Obviously your vet couldn't tell you if they were baby or adult teeth, and that is going to make a huge difference. You've had a poster comment that you will still love him even if he has broken teeth. This isn't about love or cosmetic beauty, as you've already noted, you can't tell whether a horse is missing teeth without looking carefully, anyhow. This is about how it will impact him grazing. If they were baby teeth you'll probably be okay. Unless the damage to the baby teeth injured the adult teeth underneath, that can happen with both people and horses. If they are permanent teeth, then it will depend if the teeth have only been broken off and then will slowly grow in height and eventually be where they need to be, or whether they are damaged or totally missing. If your horse has permanently damaged or missing front teeth you are going to see some problems in the future. As you know, horses crop the grass with their front teeth. If this horse is missing front teeth he will not be able to crop grass very well, but may do better on hay. If his weight is decent he obviously has been managing well for now, but you will need to really keep an eye on things if he goes out into pasture. The next problem to consider is - what will happen to his bottom teeth? Without anything to meet the bottom teeth, the ones below will grow too long and begin to cause problems, too. Also, the teeth on each side of the missing teeth are going to shift and fall into the empty space, which will then effect his entire mouth. At the very least, this horse will likely require very frequent dental care from a good vet or equine dentist. He will grow sharp edges and extra long teeth and will need them floated much more often than the regular horse. Most young horses need to be floated at least yearly, but in this case I would suspect he will need to be done twice a year at the very least. Then you will need to see how things go. If he has problems maintaining weight you might need to provide him extra calories in the form of pellets, pre-chopped hay, or even some oil in his grain. But perhaps it won't be a problem, so I wouldn't rush out and start feeding him this unless necessary. If you ever sell this horse, please make sure you make his dental history known. Without good care he is likely to suffer. Good luck, hopefully all will be well.

You need to wear a 'crown' a permenant one which will be fixed to your dead teath. It wont come out and will be like a permenant teeth. There are two types of crown - the ceramic one and the metal one. ceramic will be a little costlier. This is the only solution for your case and contact an orthodontist.

All the best.

It looks as though you'll have to get a crown for it. Sometimes they can TRY to bleach it from the inside, but it's not always effective. Your tooth is already weaker so you don't want to jeopardize it any more. =)

Dental and medical problems are generally a case-per-case basis. There are many things to consider and one suggestion for medical and dental problems can help or case more damage to an individual. Take time to see a professional. Set up an appointment so you can resolve your dental/medical problem.

Stop guessing with strangers online. Make an appointment to see your dentist. We cannot view your teeth. Your issue may differ from a general root canal. Only your dentist can determine what's best for you.

It can be fixed. Get to your dentist as soon as possible. He can cap it so it will look and work as good as new. Your symptoms may indicate more problems, though, so seeing the dentist quickly is ESSENTIAL.

I dreamt last night that I had no teeth. Maybe you're just dreaming.
