is it normal for my dog of 7 years to have a back tooth fall out? Do I need to take her to the vet?

Answer 1

VERY normal. She needs a dental (they will sedate her and clean her teeth) they will also check to see if any others need to be extracted at that time.

Answer 2

i think it's fine that the tooth fell out. I think it should tell you that you dog needs to have a dental at the Vets. Teeth go bad, some take a long time to fall out, causing a lot of pain. Have your 7 year old dogs teeth cleaned. He and you will both benefit..

Answer 3

NO! Thats not normal! Your dog has peridontal disease! The loss of the tooth is caused by bone loss from a massive infection in his/her mouth. You need to take the dog to the vet, and request a dental cleaning. If there is one tooth that fell out there are bound to have several teeth that will need extraction.

Answer 4

I would take her to the vet to get her teeth checked. She may have some decay that you want to catch sooner than later. Don't laugh, but I brush my dog's teeth every night. The vet also has a solution that you can squirt into their mouth if that's easier. Since your pooch is seven that may be the way to go.

Answer 5

Veterinarians treat tooth problems in pets all the time. Dogs need dental care like people.

Answer 6

It is not normal but I would try to take the animal to the vets and let them take a look and see whats going on with your animal. To be honest that would be the best thing to do

Answer 7

My dogs teeth would fall out occasionally. It's not a good thing, but it just means that you should've been cleaning them. What I'd do is start giving her those dentabones regularly. If you have the money, take her in for a cleaning.
