Broken tooth
Matilda has a broken upper canine (at the gum line) and has an appointment
with a feline dentist first thing Monday morning. From my readings it would appear that a surgical extraction will be in order, either that or a root canal. Poor Matilda! Does anyone have any input when it comes to these broken teeth? Judy & Matilda |

Broken tooth
Yep!
Bear just broke an upper canine. The vet said it normally has to be broken to a certain point, usually less than half, before it can become a problem and need to be removed. They x-rayed him just to be sure, and his tooth is staying in (it's about 1/3rd broken.) I would imagine they will take Matilda's out right away to prevent infection. Good luck to her!

Than you Rhonda! I haven't told Matilda about her appointment yet, but I think she knows. Over the past week she's been stuffing herself with more food than usual as if she's anticipating having to live off body fat because her mouth will be sore and won't feel much like eating. I'm not looking forward to Monday, but I know this is a must.

Judy & Matilda One of mine had a broken canine removed at the vet's, trust me it did not affect his eating at all, I fed him only wet food for about 10 days. I love his goofy one tooth grin. |

That's reassuring. :c) Then again, not much can come between cats and their food. :c) The grin certainly if a goofy one. |

Sometimes, they can do without the root canal, it's up to the vet to
determine....... :-) On Sun, 28 May 2006 09:53:54 -0400, "Judy" wrote: "Trish" wrote in message . .. "Judy" wrote in message ... "Rhonda" wrote in message ... Yep! Bear just broke an upper canine.

Matilda saw the dentist yesterday and it was mutually agreed that the route take would be the least invasive - a root canal. While she was under, her teeth were also thoroughly cleaned and polished. She came through it with flying colours and will be on wet food and pain pills for 5 days. Her teeth are a brilliant white and she has no goofy grin. The dentist told me that one of the results of an extraction, would have been a goofy grin due to removal of bone. The lack of support causes tissue to change position, often leaving the lower canine showing. |

Hey congrats to Matilda Unfortunately when I found my goofy grinner his tooth was already cracked and decay had set in, the best choice was extraction, but he's happy and awwww I just love him. I'm still trying to get a pic of his grin when I do I'll link it so you can see |
