My cat broke a canine tooth. Will it regrow or hurt when eating?

As Dr Fernandez recommended, taking him in to the vet would be highly recommended. Regarding being worried about him swallowing the tooth should it fall out on its own--the answer there is that you do not need to worry about it. If he were to swallow a tooth, it would be digested enough by the acid in the stomach to pass without a problem.

As long as the vet checked him and reassured you that he is overall fine, that is the most important thing, although i am not sure why he would tell you that the tooth will grow back, unless he is younger that what you wrote in his profile (1 year and 4 months), permanent teeth grow approximately at the age of 3-6 months, after that whatever falls does not grow back. regarding the wiggling tooth, this is the same issue basically, if he is under 6 months and it is a baby tooth then it will probably fall soon, if it doesn't bother him you can wait until it falls, if he is painful- ask your vet to have it removed under sedation.

If he swallows it, it will likely pass through him in a day or two. Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian. There may be a degree of periodontal disease or infection that should be addressed to prevent spread or discomfort.

If Simba is a kitten, it is normal to lose the baby teeth while the adult teeth grow in. If Simba is an adult cat and this was an adult tooth, it is best to have him examined by a vet to rule out health issues causing tooth loss.

I'm sorry to hear about this. The biggest concern with broken teeth is if the tooth root is exposed. This is not an emergency, but is painful and makes the teeth and roots susceptible to infection. In some cases the teeth can be repaired by a veterinary dentistry specialist, but in most cases they would have to be extracted. Considering this happened at the veterinary office, they should take some responsibility. I also understand that this would have been a difficult situation to control for the vet clinic and there may have been some broken teeth or dental disease prior to this incident. In these cases, I recommend talking with the veterinary practice owner and expressing your concerns and how you would like to be compensated. I understand that you must be very upset with them, but these matters can get much worse if you involve other people rather than communicating directly with the people in charge. It's best to talk with them directly as best as you can. I can tell you from experience that the clients that approach these issues calmly and reasonably with their concerns have more favorable outcomes. Give them a chance to explain their perspective and allow them to do the right thing (apologize and offer treatment for the teeth) on their own. Also, please understand that these are people too...who will occasionally make mistakes. I'm sure they did not want this to happen and I'm sure they feel bad about it. If talking with them does not work, or you feel that they did not give you a satisfactory response after giving them the opportunity, then the next step would be to take Mouch to another veterinarian for an outside opinion. They can give a non-biased evaluation of the problem and help you pursue compensation (if needed). You may also consider talking with the local veterinary council/board if you feel that the vet clinic is being unreasonable about the situation. I hope that helps and Mouch gets better soon.

No, teeth do not grow up if the permanent teeth fall out. The only time that happens is when the cat loses their baby teeth which are then replaced by their permanent teeth. That happens between four months to eight months of age. If you lose a permanent teeth, it's gone forever.

I would definitely recommend leaving it alone because you could cause some pain and injury by wiggling on it. However I would consider having your vet take a look at it because safe extraction if the canine tooth may be recommended to avoid having a huge hole left behind for foodstuffs to then get clogged into. If your vet extracts the tooth instead of just letting it fall out, the vet can then close the hole with suture. This is the best approach when dealing with diseases canine teeth especially, because this is the only tooth that can leave a hole that directly communicates with the nasal passages (oronasal fistula), so we take extra precautions with this tooth in particular. Schedule an appt with your local vet soon and I hope everything turns out well for your cat Zoe.
