Dental One tooth longer than the other

[Kelly.lainton]

One tooth is longer than the other. (Top teeth)
He is 1 year old.
He has been eating fine and seems ok in himself.
Should I get this checked by a vet?

Tried another photo sorry, it's hard to keep him still!

Hi and welcome

Uneven front teeth where there has been no break are in most cases an indication of a problem further back in the mouth; either in the the incisor root or with overgrowing back teeth when the chewing of the crucial hay and grass fibre is not even. This is very often causes by a pain issue and needs an investigation by a dental savvy vet as piggy dentals do not feature largerly in any vet's curriculum.

Which country are you in?

If you could get as far as the Cat&Rabbit Care Clinic in Northampton, you would be in safe hands. They may want to have a look at your pictures when you enquire. A specialist vet appointment counts as essential medical travel.

Thank you for your help

The problem is not yet very advanced as you are obviously a very observant owner, but it would be good if it could be seen by a good vet before it becomes a real problem.

Thank you,
That makes sense.
I'll definitely get him checked out
