I am asking this question because I a have a poodle and I guess it bit into something hard and it broke-off one of his lower tooths (a fang), but it didn't come off completely with the root because I am still able to see part of the tooth were his gums begin...

Dogs aren't like sharks. If they lose an adult tooth, that's it. If it is broken you need to take her to a vet or it can become infected and cause a lot of issues.

It will only be replaced if it is a baby tooth. But if he broke it off at the gums, the nerve may be exposed causing him pain. It could also become infected. You probably ought to consider having a vet remove the rest of the tooth so it doesn't create any problems for him.

how old is the poodle? if it is still a puppy, then that tooth will eventually fall out, and a brand new one will grow in. but if she has her adult teeth, then No, no new tooth will grow in.. the tooth will stay like that. its okay tho that she still has some of the tooth left, atleast the whole thing didnt fall out!! just keep an eye on the poodle, and make sure that you know what is okay for her to be chewing on, and what isnt. good luck, take her to the vet if she looks like she is in pain. or if it looks infected, the vet will help u out.

Just like you and me, dogs lose their milk teeth (baby teeth). These baby teeth are replaced by permanent (adult) teeth.
However, just like you and me, if an adult dog loses a tooth either through injury or decay, then no, it won't grow back.
I urge you to take Fido to the vet's to have the remainder of the broken tooth removed. This will help minimize any infection he may get through his broken tooth - as well as help with any pain he may have.

Like people dogs have 2 sets of teeth, baby and adult. The baby teeth fall out and they get permeant adult teeth. If he loses an adult tooth he will not get another tooth in its place. If your dog broke one of his teeth, you should really get him to a vet, he'll probably need the rest of that tooth extracted.

Only if he loses a baby tooth. He needs to go to the vet, if the root is exposed, he is in some kind of pain.

As Humans, When you lose a baby tooth another replaces its spot with a stronger bigger one. If your Poodle lost one of its adult teeth then it is permanent, gone forever.
**If it is broken I suggest you go to the vet.

If it is a puppy tooth, yes. If it isn't, no. Your dog needs to see a Vet. before the tooth infection gets to the jawbone.
