Broken canine tooth - what do i do??

OH just noticed that chinas right canine tootha has snapped clean off about 1/4 of the way up from the tip all the way through...

she doesnt seem in any pain and is eating fine...

My first dog, Winston, used to chew rocks and he broke all his canines and no problems whatsoever, I kept an eye on them but he was not in pain so I didn't worry.
Ellie has the two lower canines very worn and again no pain, but I just keep an eye on them.

Hi Alex if you are pretty sure the tooth isn't causing any pain or is very sharp I would get it checked out when next you are at the vet rather than treating it as an emergency .

Vets are often reluctant to remove a broken tooth unless they really have to, sometimes a gap in the teeth can cause the other teeth to move creating a problems with the bite.

I have also seen a tooth removed and the gum grow up to fill the gap causing no obvious discomfort at all.

thanks! i just imagine it being very painful, but she ate her kibble no probs!

its pretty sharp around the edge of it but she has shown no discomfort at all....

thanks guys!
