My Adult cat lost his big tooth on the bottom? Is this ok? Will it grow back?

Better take him to the vet to make sure everything is okay.

My Adult cat lost his big tooth on the bottom? Is this ok? Will it grow back?
I doubt it will grow back because he is an adult cat, however i'm not a professional. I'd call the vets and explain it and they can tell you. I don't think it will be a big deal though, because it isnt essential to have all teeth.
Reply:Cats, like people, lose their teeth as they age. As long as he can still eat it shouldn't be a problem. No, the tooth will not grow back.
Reply:I don't know, but you had better make sure that it does not get an abscess or infection. It is better to catch it sooner than later, especially if it is an outdoor cat. Good luck...
Reply:Take him to the vet, tooth issue...and listen very carefully....WILL end up killing him if not taken care of.





Don't wait, take him to a vet.





Best wishes on a speedy recovery!
Reply:It won't grow back... He'll be okay as long as there isn't an infection.
Reply:My cat, Bear, lost his tooth a little over a year ago too! He is just fine. Your kitty will be alright too! The tooth will not grow back.

Reply:No it wont grow back but he will be alright.
Reply:If your cat is an adult cat over the age of 1 and his tooth fell out, I would strongly recommend that he see his vet, cats teeth do not fall out like that. His mouth may be irritated and have calculus building up or he may have gingivitis and may require a dental cleaning to correct the problem and prevent further tooth loss. Adult cat teeth are like ours, once it is gone, it's gone for good.
Reply:Anytime an animal loses a tooth there is a reason to be concerned. There has to be a reason that the tooth fell out. Possibly your animal needs teeth cleaning. If the tooth broke and the root is still in the gum there is a chance for infection. I would take your cat to the vet and consult him/her about removing what is left of the tooth and a teeth cleaning. And NO the tooth will not grow back. They have 2 sets of teeth(like us)
