Our five month old cat has broken both of the lower jaw canine teeth, within a week. (Note: I believe they are called the canine, they are the bottom equivalent of the upper longest, pointed teeth) We examined his teeth and gums, and they look perfect, healthy pink gums, no tartar, etc. Is this just a coincidence, rough play, new carpet possibly snagging his teeth, or something else??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. rob IP: Logged |

Cat Age Number and Type of Teeth 4 weeks of age 12 “baby” incisors 6 weeks of age Full set of 26 deciduous (baby) teeth 11-30 weeks of age All baby teeth lost and replaced by 30 permanent teeth If kitty has broken some teeth, it just may allow bacteria to enter and cause eventual rot/gum disease. Have a feline dentist or vet check the cat and decide if and what can be done. I have a cat that broke a tooth piece in his mischief, and the vet thought to just keep the teeth and mouth clean and watch for problems like red, swollen, bleeding gums. I haven't seen any and the tooth has sharpened and seems fine. He eats, tortures all of us, and trust me, those little beauties are razor sharp! LOL! Best wishes. IP: Logged |
