Incisor Trim Window

[wenton5]

Happy Holidays everyone. So Chooch has one upper incisor left, all the others stopped growing, if you would like recent background information, he has a recent update on his health and illness thread, Choochs mysterious health and teeth . Teeth trimmed now every 2 weeks, great vet. Here is our dilemma:
Sensitive boar, most of the time, we can get the trim just in the proper window, which is a very small window, not too long, not too short and a time span just enough for recovery. We are having a tricky time this week due to the holidays. So the question is, is too short better than too long or visa versa? I can take him in tomorrow, which is too soon, or in 10 days, which is too late, and then there is the discomfort of the trim.
Thanks soo much for the help.

Thank you soo much! We are usually able to squeeze in to see our vet if we miss the window, but he is going on vacation, we could get a vet recommendation from him if we have to, but given that we are in fragile times right now anyway, id to that. Really appreciate the help.

I have very little dental experience but I would think that too soon is better than too late. If left then the teeth might cause more damage, possibly.

I think that's what I'd do in your position.

Definitely do sooner. When the incisors get too long and start clashing together, this can cause the back teeth to overgrow, so you end up with an additional problem.

Thank you both very much, he only has the one upper incisor left.
