Holy tooth root Batman!

The vet said there was no way this bad boy was coming out on it's own so I'm glad I had it pulled

 

[dobriety]

Wow, that's a baby tooth? I'd keep that bad boy too!

 

[SchumiTEC]

That's huge ("that's what she said")

No way that baby? tooth was coming out on it's own.

What did the vet charge for the tooth removal? (curious)

Hope Whiskey is recovering ok!

 

[PatchworkRobot]

WOW are they supposed to be that big? (teehee, that's what she said)


Also, +2 for thread title.

 

[SpecialK]

WOW! Thats all I can say!

I don't think that root is at all uncommon in size. Puppy teeth fall out because the adult tooth reabsorbs the root on the puppy teeth. If for some reason those roots aren't reabsorbed, then yes, you'll see a root this large.

That's why it's NOT a good idea to try to pry retained puppy teeth, wiggle them or anything else. Puppy teeth aren't as strong as permanent teeth, and if the puppy has a complete root like this, the tooth is going to break off before it comes out if any kind of force is used.

The tooth extraction was $267. All in all I'm glad I had it pulled. Poor thing had to be uncomfortable.

 

[Sinister]

Ew, Haha.
I bet he feels better.

Yep, you could string it up like a Shark Tooth Necklace and sell it on EBay with a caption something like: "Dobe Baby Tooth Necklace- (Adult Tooth Too Big To Wear)" !!

[TaniaShari]

I would but I gotta keep that tooth for when I clone him! :roflmao:

Don't make a necklace, you'll give evil, stupid people ideas to rip dogs teeth out to make necklaces for cash!

The 1st day we were able to see Oliver, we were in the yard with him and he spit out 2 of his baby teeth. My husband picked them up and put them in his pocket. They were no where as big as that one. Better that thing is out.

Again, this is because when a puppy tooth falls out naturally, it's because the root has been reabsorbed by the permanent tooth. So you can't really compare teeth that fell out naturally with one that wasn't going to come out on it's own, because that root didn't get reabsorbed.

Oh I never meant to imply that the root was abnormal! It's the right size for not having been absorbed but it wasn't going to come out on it's own.

 

[Toby'shuman]

Blooming heck, that is one biiiiiigggg tooth. Poor baby.

 

[Zephyr]

That's absurd! I bet it feels better with it gone.

 

[StarlightDobe]

wow, bet he is glad to be rid of that nasty thing!
