What do I do if my dog’s tooth is loose?

Take your pet to see a veterinarian. He or she will be able to determine if the loose tooth can be saved or if it needs to be extracted/removed. In some cases, a root canal can be performed to prevent the need for a tooth extraction. Root canals can be expensive and may require a visit to a dental specialist.

Do dogs lose teeth when they get old?
