We have noticed tonight that Maisies other bottom tooth has now gone! I'm guessing she has been chewing the bars as ive caught the little pigles doing it alot today. She seems to be eating ok still, I'm worried now that her top ones are going to grow too long as nothing to wear them down on :(
 
Oh Maisie! rolleyes

Is the tooth missing completely, or just broken at the gum line?

You're right to think of the opposite teeth, when they have nothing to wear them down they can overgrow, so they will need close monitoring. The best treatment long-term would depend on how far down the lower one is broken and whether these incisors grow back; in the short term it's generally advised that, when both lowers/both uppers are broken or missing, the opposing incisors are trimmed short so that all the teeth are growing at the same "length" and should meet properly.
 
Well we think its the whole tooth but cant get a good enough look as she detests it lol. Think we may have another trip to Vedra. Shes a very naughty piggy :))
