I found my cats fang on my bed today idk whats wrong with her since the vet discovered she doesnt have a lot of teeth left but her 4 fangs and he didnt know why.. but now one has fallen out and we checked her mouth and yes there is a hole so what should i do?

Hi! Have you called the vet?

 

[Ognjen]

No, my mother thinks a vet cant help her and that she needs a cat dentist

I assumed he examined her teeth for any signs that there is a problem. If he doesn't know, go to a different source.

Usually regular vets do basic dentistry. If it's something your vet can't handle, ask for a referral to someone who can handle it.

She seems like she is fine like not in any pain being playful and jumping around the house so should i still be worried?

If she's eating and drinking normal, that's a good sign, however, she does need to see a vet.

Canine teeth are structural to the jaw, this is why damaged canines are not normally pulled unless abscessed, or a cavity has gone into the root. (or another serious issue.)

It's worth, at the very least, a call and see what the vet says.

PS - Vets normally do dental work as well as basic DR work, surgery etc.

Def ask for a referral. My cats are 7-8 years and their teeth are in great health. There’s something really wrong with your cat if he doesn’t have hardly any teeth left and the canine looks really rotten. Going to need xrays and a dental exam ASAP
