Hi there,

I have a just turned 5yr old WB. He's been growing in his lower jaw corner teeth for some time now. His Nearside has grown in fine and just grew out where the other one grew up and pushed the baby tooth out like a cap.
However the offside baby tooth looks like its stuck and now being crowded rather than pushed out by the new one. I'm worried it's not going to move out.

He's really sensitive about me even just looking at his teeth that side so I do think it's starting to cause issues. I had a dentist guy do his teeth last week and he said the baby tooth wasn't movable and he thinks its a sedate an remove jobby :(

Anyone had something similar that could offer advice please :D

Here's a picture... hopefully works :)

Vet needed ,it should be fairly easy, sedative maybe local and hopefully it should come out easily.I wouldnt leave it as it is being held in place by the new tooth and could cause that to grow at an angle and it will get sore.
 
thx for the response... I guess inevitability of another vet visit then :(
Already had the vet out twice in the last year to remove a single small wolf tooth, which was fractured wasn't removed fully in first place. On the revisit from the vet I'd said could he look at the baby corner as it looked like it has sunken and moved inwards whist he was under sedation for the 2nd time and that was before the new tooth had erupted. He said it was fine... ho hum... I should have been more forceful in my request! :rolleyes:
