Hey everyone,

Its been a while sense I poseted. Empanada is doing great he's 6 years old now. Time flys!. I just took him to the vet and they said he is healthy, I woke up this morning and his bottom front tooth fell out and the onther one next to it loose. He never lost is baby teeth so I'm wondering if it was a baby tooth or what and will it grow back? I'm scared, but he doesnt seem to worried he just wantes his snacks. He gets his teeth brushed everytime he gets a bath and I try to brush them at home, but he trys to eat the tooth brush so we usually just leave it up to the grooming people. Does anyone know if this is normal.

If he's 6 yrs old, that shouldn't be a baby tooth that fell out. Has he had a dental done by a vet before?

No, he just gets his teeth brushed about every 2-3 weeks and eats denta bones. When I took him to the vet last week they said he should have his teeth cleaned in the next 6 months that they look good but should be cleaned. Im just going to take him to the dentist tomorrow and have then clean and look at it. I feel so sorry for him I dont know what to do if the teeth dont grow back.

Maybe he can get implants.
