so river broke his bottom canine tooth do you think it will grow back? never had a dog break a tooth

I don't think so. I was a nanny for a family that had a lab and broke his and now he looks goofy but it is so cute. So no it won't.

My moms Yorkie chipped his top right K9 and unfortunately it does not grow back

I'm sorry I had to giggle a little bit... Their teeth are no different than ours so when they chip/ crack they don't mend themselves. That would be pretty fantastic though !
I chipped my canine tooth and it made it extremely sharp. I cut and stabbed my tongue on it a bunch of times so I had to go get it filed down... Make sure River's isn't sharp! He should be just fine with it though.
Also, my old lady Lilly had to have one of her canines removed because it got ripped upward in a scuffle.. She could still eat perfectly fine without it so you don't have to worry about it affecting his eating.

You can always get him a titanium k9 and he'll look gangster lol

I'm just playing
You should tell you're vet on you're next visit and maybe they can suggest something to help poor River out

thats pretty bad-ass! sierra has a busted k9 and its almost to the nerve, we were told to just keep an eye on it but so far no pulling needed, she came to us that way so i have no idea what happened.

If it's just a baby tooth I wouldn't worry too much. If it's a larger adult one you may want to take him in to the vet to be sure the root isn't exposed as that can create a place for infection and sensitivity.

OMG!!!!
ya its an adult tooth so bummer i notices it after he came back from the groomers that it didnt look right but was just a chip but then my husband gave him a rib bone last night and when we went to bed i was looking at his teeth while he was playing with Zephyr and it didnt look right and realized he broke it the rest of the way ill have to try and take a picture of it he wont let me look long enough to see if the root is showing but i will try thanks guys

As much as we all like to give the dog a bone that is a very common cause of chipped and/or broken teeth.

Biko chipped his upper left canine before I got him and it discolored, so now I keep and eye on it to make sure it doesn't become a cavity.
