I don't know what to think. I was brushing Thor's teeth, just like I do almost every night. One of the front bottom ones seemed to be at a weird angle, and it wiggled when I brushed it. I touched it and it fell right out of his mouth!

The tooth appears to be healthy, though absolutely covered in plaque. The root is extremely long. I don't know how it possibly could have slid out of his gum.

I probed the area a little bit, and Thor doesn't appear to be in any pain. He's eating fine and playing.

What the heck happened? Is this a sign of serious gum disease? He had a checkup a few months ago and they said his teeth looked fine, though they never do more than a cursory once over. Does he need to go to a doggie dentist? How urgent is this?
