Loose Teeth? :(

pitbulliest · 10-12-2006, 04:18 PM

Hi guys...Messina is 5 years old now..her teeth are in really good shape..except what I noticed the other day when brushing them, was that the front tooth (the ones that dogs don't really use)...well, one of them seemed loose..it was kinda starting to wiggle under my finger...

Is this something I should be concerned about?

She does chew recreational raw bones sometimes...could this be the cause and should I stop giving them to her?

Hope some of you can chip in and help me out... I'm worried

Might be an idea to have your vet look at it. Are her gums red or swollen?Does she have really bad breath that might indicate gum disease? If so he may have suggestions to help.

No...that's the thing...she went to a vet a few months ago...her checkup was great..the vet congratulated me on such wonderful work...I brush her teeth every second day..her gums are a nice color..her teeth are white...her breath doesn't smell..

I don't get it......could it have been the bone?...

Got me stumped! I've never heard of a bone being responsible for that but heh! you just never know.
