I've been keeping a close eye on Amber's new teeth to check that no problems developed. Most of them are fine, but one tooth next to the biggest canine on the top jaw is literally set around 60-70 degrees from the jaw instead of growing down. It catches her gum and I can see it causing problems if she got knocked there while playing. Should I ask the vet about having it removed when she goes in for neutering? Or leave it? I'm worried about it being spot that could encourage gum disease too.
Oh, and with a tooth being removed from a young dog, will the others shuffle along like they're supposed to in humans, or will it leave a permanent gap? Not that I mind either way, just wondering. Has anyone ever heard of an adult tooth like this righting itself? It's very firmly anchored and the same size as the other new teeth, so I don't think it's simply a loose baby tooth..
