It is not uncommon for big breed dogs in particular, to fracture their canine teeth. This will frequently occur during rough play or potentially when chewing on harder bones or other difficult objects including rocks, stones, sticks, etc. Occasionally, blunt trauma to the deal with and/or canine fights may likewise be possible triggers of the fracture of these sharp teeth in a dog’s mouth. The degree of discomfort of a fractured canine tooth will depend upon exactly how deep into the tooth the fracture goes; if the fracture extends with the pulp and/or root of the tooth, these will generally be much more painful.
Treatment of fractured canine teeth may or may not be necessary, as I will frequently leave the tooth alone if it is not unpleasant as well as the fracture not deep. In other cases, sedation as well as total tooth as well as root extraction is required to avoid secondary infection in addition to persistent pain. In these cases, we will frequently utilize oral antibiotics for 7-10 days, in addition to oral pain medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like Rimadyl or Metacam during this time around to decrease swelling as well as oral discomfort after tooth removal.
In holistic veterinary practice, I discover the homeopathic remedies arnica as well as hypericum in 30c potency provided when or twice everyday for a few days likewise useful in decreasing pain naturally in those clients who choose a much more holistic approach.
