One month ago my 3 year old sow Harriet broke one of her bottom teeth, I have no idea how, but it didn't cause any issues and it grew back very quickly. I've been supplementing her with vitamin C since as I heard it helps with this, but she has just broken the opposite tooth on the bottom again. I don't have a clue why or how this is happening, it's not causing her problems again but it's just a bit worrying, is there something wrong? Both of them are significant breaks almost down to the tooth root.
 
The vitamin c supplement isn’t necessary. As long as she is having a varied diet and eating plenty of hay, then that should be covered.

I have no experience with teeth but would say take her to a vet for a check. I’ll tag @furryfriends (TEAS)
