My cat lost front teeth. Is he okay? What dental care does he need?

Yes, Toby should have a dental. He might have other loose teeth in his mouth, it needs to be checked that the entire tooth came out (roots included), and he may have severe gingivitis that requires a cleaning, scaling, and polishing. I would bring him into the vet as soon as possible during normal business hours.

There is no need to take him in to your veterinarian at this time if the area where he lost the tooth is not hurting. Since you obviously have scheduled a dental cleaning for Milo, your vet can inspect the area during the dental cleaning while he is under sedation. The vet will also do dental radiographs to check for retained roots and neck lesions. These will need to be removed.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pongo. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian soon. Make sure that you are comfortable doing so. You can ask about COVID protocols before heading to your appointment. Most hospitals are working hard to keep clients and staff are safe. If he lost a tooth, he likely has advanced dental disease. He will most likely need to go under anesthesia to have his teeth cleaned and x-rays taken of the mouth. The veterinarian will then be able to let you know if additional extractions will be needed. If dental disease is treated, it will improve his quality of life. Cats are good at hiding signs of illness so it can be difficult to judge their discomfort level at home. I hope this information helps!

The weeping eye likely isn't related to his tooth problem, Timmie could have an eye infection or allergies causing the weeping. His tooth was likely severely rotten or infected to have it come out so easily, which isn't normal. He needs to see a vet first thing in the morning for his eye and tooth. He could potentially have other rotten and infected teeth, and he would benefit from a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing. He will likely also need antibiotics to prevent or treat infection in the empty tooth socket. The vet can also diagnose and treat his eye. Please take him into the vet tomorrow morning.

That sounds and looks like like potential gum disease and tartar/plaque build up on the teeth. Often when it's to this point, a dental cleaning is needed to remove the build up and make sure the teeth are healthy. I would have Ghost examined by your vet and get him scheduled for a dental.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not sure what your question is but if you are worried about him losing a tooth, it is not uncommon. I would recommend the vet take a look at his teeth to see if any more need to come out. It is ok if Carter loses teeth because he can still eat without them. But if there are more diseased teeth he needs to have them extracted to prevent pain and further decay. If the vet says his teeth look good, I would recommend daily brushing with cat toothpaste to prevent further tartar build up. Good luck and kisses to Carter!

It may be a resorptive lesion on the tooth. This is an indicator of dental disease. They can be painful, so a visit to your veterinarian would be recommended. Tinsel may need a complete dental cleaning. Given current events, you may need to drop him off at the clinic and wait for your veterinarian to call you to discuss exam findings and treatment options. https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/tooth-resorption/
