Hello,
Just looking if anyone has seen this before. I have been to the vets before with his teeth and they aren't bad for a boy of his age and that if they aren't bothering him, they won't touch them. He's eating fine, no discharge, but his breath does smell and it might have something to do with this growth behind his tooth. There's a normal tooth growing in front of it. Any advice?

I am tagging our most experienced member with dental guinea pigs for you. It looks like something is stuck. If it smells, it could be either rotting food or an abscess. The best place to have him seen is the Cat&Rabbit Care Clinic in Northampton. They see guinea pigs with dental problems from all over the country on a near daily basis. If you can get there, it is by far the best place to have the problem sorted if your vets are not able to.

I tried do remove it, it won't move.
It's solid as if there's another tooth growing.
 
I agree it would be worth speaking to @furryfriends (TEAS) .

As you are in Doncaster, I also suggest you speak to Cavy Corner - as I know Winston has some experience of looking after Guinea Pigs with dental problems. The best way to contact Cavy Corner is via their FB page - Cavy Corner
