Not really advice to get rid of the tooth, but if he's uncomfortable you can use Bonjela, dentist advised me to use it on my shettie when his baby teeth were coming through.

I've got a 5yr old who is still teething - currently chewing his rugs (gone through 3 since xmas). I have used bonjela as often as possible. I also looked to see if there is anything around for teething horses to chew on like the ones for puppies - unfortunately I've not found anything yet. I've left a big heavy weight plastic bucket in the field for him to chew / play with. However he does seem to prefer chewing on the rotten branches of trees or my wooden showjumps - but obviously worried about splinters
