Puppy broke his canine tooth and its bleeding... what to do?

I have a 4 month old puppy. He really bites everything he sees and this morning, he happened to bite my pants. As usual, I shacked my pants so he could get off me.





But then I noticed his top canine tooth broke off. I took a look at it and it must have been atleast half of the tooth. You can actually see the inner whole of the tooth going straight down.





After I took a look at him, I noticed he was bleeding from his broken tooth.





What should I do???





I have no idea on what to do, and its a bit worrysome.





Thanks.

Puppy broke his canine tooth and its bleeding... what to do?
If it was i human i'd take it to the dentist for a fake tooth. but for a dog i'd just wait it out it sort if is his fault i'd take him to the vet to make sure
Reply:get the bleeding to stop and call the vet and ask them he should be fine farm dogs do it all the time they grow back speacially if he's only a puppy he's just getting new teeth that why he bites everything get him some chew toys. good luck
Reply:It is a milk tooth that has broken but it still needs to be taken care of. You should bring your pup to the vets and have them evaluate weather it should be pulled out or just smoothed over so your pup does not cut his tongue or lip on the broken tooth.


You should call the vet as son as possible to have this looked at.
Reply:if it was a puppy tooth then don't worry about it, at four months a dog is shedding the puppy teeth and at that point most of them are brittle and can break half way off and blood is part of loosing teeth as long as the dog is not depressed or bleeding alot, if the tooth starts to look swollen around the gums or is real painful then go to the vet other wise it's sorta normal, dogs loose teeth and bleed alittle you just don't see it, and get him or her a rope toy this is so good for a dog sheding teeth and sometimes you can keep a tooth that gets cought in the rope
Reply:As people have already said, this is probably just a puppy tooth - however if part of the tooth is still in the gums, he needs veterinary attention as soon as possible.





Rinse his mouth out with some warm salt water, and make an appointment today, if possible. Try to stop the bleeding with a bit of gauze and applied pressure - though the puppy may not allow you to do this.





This can quickly turn into a nasty mouth infection if not cleaned properly and treated - and nerves could possibly be exposed. The tooth may even need to be removed.
Reply:it normally will stop on its on if not take to vet it will grow back
Reply:owning a dog is a major responsibility, which not only includes feeding it and watering it... you may have to take it to the vet.... if you cant afford a dr. visit, you may want to re thing owning a dog. dont punish the dog because of your negligence!
Reply:the pup is just teething. Ihad the same problem
Reply:Go to a pet store ask and buy a good solution for it, i don't think they are to expensive.
Reply:Pups lose their milk teeth around 4 months old so it's possible the tooth was already loose. If it's sharp and could cut his mouth I would bring him to the vet to have it filed or removed.
Reply:Got to go to the VET or just call they'll tell tell you what to do your dog will be fine tht poor thing





Im a pet lover i should nooo
Reply:at this age the puppies are losing their baby teeth, in turn for their adult teeth. They bite and chew alot because theire teeth hurt. I'd just watch this tooth so it dont become infected. More than likely in a couple of weeks, you'll see a new adult tooth coming in. If the tooth is in fact broken, you might try to wiggle it and see if it'll come out itself with a little help from you. Just keep a good eye on it and give the puppy plenty of chew toys and NYLABONES ! and fresh water constantly.


GOod luck.
Reply:take an ice cube and hold it were it is bleeding the coldness


will stop the bleeding then get a clean paper towel to wipe away the blood then call a local vet to know more about what to do

Reply:get him a teething blanket, it will make it less painful for him.
Reply:Phone the vets and explain to them what has happened and if there is anything you can do. They may be able to give you information over the phone, without you having to go and actually see the vet. It should be ok. Puppies lose their teeth anyway and this has happened to me with my puppies in the past and we have taken them to the vets, though no teeth were extracted and they just cleaned the area around the tooth and said to keep an eye on it. If it's bleeding a lot and there's no let-up then I don't really know what else to do, other than see a vet, but that's not an option. If it's only bleeding a little bit, I wouldn't worry too much. Keep his mouth clean with salt water and to stop the bleeding apply some pressure, though your puppy may not be very happy about it. Good luck and I hope you sort something out soon. I know what it's like when you're on a tight budget.
Reply:You have to get the attention of your vet!


Otherwise, you have to extract the broken tooth of your dog!
Reply:Take him to the vets!
Reply:if it doesnt stop bleeding within an hour take him to the vet to have it removed. otherwise the nerve (which is what you are seeing) will draw itself back down into the tooth. if its a puppy tooth then he will eventually lose it. otherwise if he shows no signs of discomfort ( such as whinning or not eating) then he will be fine.

I went to the dentist two years agoI was told I will not have any wisdom teeth?

Can I have an impacted tooth? One of my molars is broken I developed a gum flap? Is it possible my wisdom teeth is coming in the wrong place

I went to the dentist two years agoI was told I will not have any wisdom teeth?
Not developing wisdom teeth is a normal circumstance. A panoramic radiograph (x-ray) will tell you what you need to know!

My 10-year-old broke his two adult front teeth. Veneers, bonding or caps... what is the best choice?

He has about half a tooth left on one tooth and about 1/4 tooth left on the other. There is no nerve damage.Three different dentist have recommended three different things.

My 10-year-old broke his two adult front teeth. Veneers, bonding or caps... what is the best choice?
I'm a dentist.





First off, don't be concerned by the fact that you've gotten three different suggestions. Each one probably would work, although some are more appropriate than others.





For a ten year old, crowns and veneers are not a good idea for a number of reasons.





Beyond that, at this point the important thing to address is the health of the teeth. The reality is that you don't know that there is no nerve damage. Hence, vitality tests (to determine if the pulps inside the teeth are still alive) should be performed bi-weekly for a couple of months, and radiographs should be taken ever month to check for signs of internal or external resorption of the roots (where the pulp inside the tooth or the bone surrounding the tooth, respectively, begins to attack the tooth as a foreign body. If this happens, root canal therapy is indicated).





In the meantime, for cosmetic purposes, composite restorations (i.e. "dental bonding") will have to do.





Once the long-term health of the tooth has been established as well as possible (we never know for sure what will happen 10 years down the road!), other forms of restorations can be considered--although, for a ten year old, crowns and veneers are not really appropriate because his gumline will change as he gets older, possibly making the crown or veneer unaesthetic.
Reply:Whatever is in your price range.
Reply:Crowns would be the best also if it's broken as much as you say it is there is probably going to be a need for Root Canal therapy.
Reply:I have veneers. They have lasted more than six years, and still are OK. A punk busted my tooth with a bottle.
Reply:Crowns are the stronger and more permanent solution. I broke one of my front teeth when I was 8 yrs old. I have had a porcelain crown for the last 28 yrs with no problems or issues.
Reply:veneers, bonding, and caps have their own indications. but since your child is 10 years old, whose teeth development hasn't perfect yet, it's better to choose bonding or caps with pulpotomy, because i think your child's pulp chambers are already open, and the age of 17, change it into crown. bonding has a better aesthetic than caps though. u can't use veneers, because the lost of tooth structure is too much. good luck.
Reply:Go with Veneers or crowns or try another dentist. I went to 5 to find the right thing for my teeth.





From what I was told by a dentist bonding only lasts around 5 years and anything that could bleach teeth (whitening tooth pastes, ect.) will turn the bond yellow.

I broke a tooth into three pieces, two came out. The new tooth already grew in...how do I pull out the third?

I'm 12 years old, and a few months ago I broke my tooth into three pieces eating cereal (I was eating it WAY too fast and it was a little hard). I got two parts out, and the new tooth already grew in...I pulled the third part really hard today (after a month or so) and it's just barely hanging there...the problem is that the adult tooth already grew in, and one part of the broken tooth is barely loose at all! I got it to stop bleeding, but it seems impossible to pull out. Please help! (and don't tell me to tie a string around it and then around a door, or any of that stuff...I usually make it really loose, and then pull it out with a tissue, but it's really hard with this one...)

I broke a tooth into three pieces, two came out. The new tooth already grew in...how do I pull out the third?
You may have to ask one of your parents to check this for you. It may be that you will just have to let the new tooth erupt further, which will push this piece out as it comes in. If its hurting (other than the pain you've caused while trying to remove it) you will probably need to let your parents or your dentist remove the piece. It will come out in time, just try to leave it alone for awhile and rinse several times a day with some really warm salt water for the soreness. Ask your parents for Motrin or Ibuprofen if you are having pain with this.





Take it easy with the hard cereal from now on! Maybe the tooth fairy will visit you three times for this one tooth! You are never too old to try when it comes to a stubborn, painful tooth! Hope I've been of some help and good luck!
Reply:The soft red tissue is normal, an infection would be swollen with pus and very painful. Glad you got it out without too much trouble. Be sure to use the warm salt water and floss the new tooth well to remove any plaque that may have accumulated on that side. Report It

Reply:Thank you so much! I'll be sure to do that! :) Report It

Reply:HELLO ALICIA,





THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU DOING THIS YOURSEF IS UNLIKELY. SEE A DENTIST AND HAVE THE REMAINING BABY TOOTH PROPERLY EXTRACTED.
Reply:If it's not coming out on its own it may be best to get your dentist to take it out for you. You don't want it to stay there if it is trapping bits of food or accumulating plaque.

I have a really bad tooth that has been broken off in lots of pain i am on penicillin its swollen?

will heat or cold help?

I have a really bad tooth that has been broken off in lots of pain i am on penicillin its swollen?
only a dentist can help =)
Reply:you need to go the dentist. if that tooth has decayed (which it might have if it's breaking off) then it needs to be extracted.
Reply:Cold may numb it a little for a short while but it also can hurt a bad tooth . Your best bet is take ibuprofen or some type of pain reliever and get to a dentist tomorrow or asap.
Reply:neither will help much. What you need is some Aleve or Motrin...anything with Ibuprofen in it. You should take 2 or 3 depending on your age and all. It is an anti-inflammatory, so it will help a little with the swelling. Also, there is something called Clove Oil that you can put on there, but be careful not to touch your tongue with it, because it will numb your tongue, and it tastes awful. Your best bet of course is going to the dentist, but these will help for the time being.
Reply:I'm going to tell you how to help it but you need to see a dentist pretty quick. What you need to do is fill the hole. There is a product at the drug store called Temparin by DenTek. Just get a package, break off a piece and put it in the broken tooth. When the substance gets wet it will harden like a filling. It will keep air out and food out and therefore, help you heal. The reason you need to get the tooth pulled or filled is that rotten teeth can poison your entire body, especially your heart. Good Luck.
Reply:Cold to reduce the swelling, swish whiskey over the tooth to relieve the pain, then haul yourself off to your dentist ASAP.
Reply:USE HEAT. It helps constrict your blood vessels allowing the antibiotic to work primary at the site of infection!! However, if swelling starts to go up by your eye and/or on your neck and starts to conflict with your airway, you need to go to the ER.

Remember Children, picking teeth with toothpicks is a dangerous activity and should only be done with an expert in a controlled environment.

What are signs that teeth are starting to break skin?

Signs of teething are: baby will chew on EVERYTHING! He/she will shove their fist in their mouth and chew. They will drool ALOT! Fussiness and a low grade fever is not uncommon. The first teeth grow in on the bottom so look for little tooth buds on the bottom gum if they have the above signs.

What are signs that teeth are starting to break skin?
You can actually see them coming below the gums, plus all the drooling and sometimes crankiness.
Reply:YOu can see them, the babies drool, and you can actually rub your finger across them and feel them cutting through
Reply:Fever and diarrhea, and lots of fussiness.
Reply:Lots of drooling. A tendency to bite on things (once called 'cutting' the teeth) that are hard, like keys or any hard object (helps to push the teeth through the gums).





Cranky behavior - crying... general kind of grumpiness.





You can feel or see the teeth starting to break the surface if you can get the child to open up (and not try chomping your finger off - those gums can hurt LOL).

Reply:Baby may get irritable. Gums might swell and look red. Sometimes you don't notice until you hear the little teeth clicking on the spoon when feeding! That happened with my son's first two teeth.
Reply:Hi, drooling and gums hurt so he would want to bite or hold something in his mouth. You can see his gums reddish and swollen...thats what my lilttle one had...hope this helps
Reply:You'll feel the point of the teeth just below the gum.
Reply:Irritability: As the sharp little tooth rises closer to the surface your baby’s gums may become increasingly more sore and painful, leading to your baby being very fussy. The pain and discomfort is most often worse during the first teeth coming in and later when the molars come in because of their bigger size. This is most often the case since babies become accustomed to the sensations of teething and learn to live with them. But you may find your baby may be fussy during the whole time that every tooth comes in. Every child reacts differently.





Drooling: From three to four months of age you may see your baby start drooling more often than normal. Teething stimulates drooling, which is often worse with some babies than others.





Coughing: The extra saliva can cause your baby to occasionally cough or gag. This is usually nothing to worry about as long as your baby seems fine and shows no signs of a cold or flu and does not run a high fever.





Chin rash: If your baby is a big drooler, the constant contact with saliva can cause the skin around the chin and mouth to become irritated. To help prevent this, gently wipe your baby’s mouth and chin periodically throughout the day.





Biting %26amp; gnawing: A baby that is teething will gnaw and gum down on anything she or he can get their mouth around. The counter pressure from biting on something helps relieve the pressure from under the gums.





Cheek rubbing and ear pulling: Pain in the gums may travel to the ears and cheeks particularly when the back molars begin coming in. This is why you may see your baby rubbing their cheeks or pulling at their ears. However, keep in mind that pulling at an ear can also be a sign of an ear infection.





Diarrhea: While this is a symptom that is disagreed upon by physicians, researchers and parents, most parents usually notice slightly looser bowel movements when a baby is teething. While the recent study done by the Children’s Hospital in Australia found this to be the most common symptom of teething, there are still many people that will agree and disagree with this recent study. It is believed that the most likely cause of this is the extra saliva swallowed, which then loosens the stool. Be sure and report any diarrhea to your doctor that lasts more than two bowel movements.





Low-grade fever: A fever is another symptom that doctors are sometimes hesitant to directly link with teething. But there are many parents who will disagree with this and find their baby gets a slight fever while teething. The best thing to do is be extra safe and notify your doctor if a fever last more than two days.





Not sleeping well: With teething pain happening during the day and night, you may find your child wakes more often at night when the pain gets bad enough. Most parents agree that the night waking happens more often during the first set of teeth and with the molars.





Cold like symptoms (runny nose, etc.): Some parents find that their baby will show signs of having a cold. Runny noses, coughing and general cold symptoms are believed to come from the baby having their hands in their mouth more often. Play it safe and always notify your doctor if symptoms such as this occur.
Reply:The gums start to swell %26amp; just before they come out you will start to see the gums turning a lighter color. It will help the pain if you rub the gums with a cold cloth.
Reply:I agree with what others have said are signs of teeth about to break through, I just wanted to share the best thing to give a baby who is teething. http://www.hylands.com/products/teething...





they are amazing. My son would stop screaming in less than a minute after he took them (they are little sugar pills that dissolve on contact with your baby's tongue.) He would calm down enough to nurse or take a bottle and then go to sleep - when he might have been screaming and crying just a few minutes earlier.
Reply:Gums start itchy. Wants to bite on everything.
