When to See a Specialist for a Broken Dog Tooth

While dogs are tough and often continue to play, a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth exposing sensitive red or black pulp causes sharp, continuous pain. If left untreated, bacteria quickly invade the tooth root, causing painful abscesses and bone loss. At Animal Dental Clinic, our board-certified veterinary dental specialist performs advanced endodontic procedures, including root canals and vital pulpotomies, to eliminate infection and relieve pain while preserving your dog’s natural tooth structure.
