hi, me again. She has broken a bottom tooth, just looked and its broken off. She doesnt seem to be having any problems chewing the bars or eating her food though, so is it just best to leave her to it? And in response to your comments for my last question, yes i have 2 wheels but she doesnt use them and i have one of those balls you can put her in plus i give her ten mins after her ball-workout on the floor and sofa (and she likes to climb on me!) shes set up home now too. just like to keep you all informed of her progress!
My hamster has broken a tooth.?
All rodents teeth grow constantly, hence the constant chewing on bars and anything else that comes into range of their mouths. As long as it is not bothering her I should just leave her to get on with things.
Reply:I would take the hamster to vet as soon as possible,because if its broken then it could soon get infected or it might cause eating problems later.
Good Luck
Hope it helps
Reply:if its broken above the gum line (you can see a little of the tooth) she should be fine . check in a few days to see if the tooth is growing ok and no signs of infection. . If she eating ok then its not hurting her so leave her to it.
Reply:put it under your pillow
Reply:if it doesn't bother her,and she still eats, then you should just leave her alone.
Reply:Hamsters are rodents. Their teeth break off and regrow constantly during their lives.
Reply:Well, have a look at the tooth. If you can see a bit of the tooth (if it's not broken inside the gum) she should be fine, especially if she's still eaing normally. If it's broken inside the gum take her to a vet. Keep an eye on it for infection etc but it sounds like she's fine.
Is it both teeth that are broken at the bottom, or just the one?? If it's just the one keep a close eye on the other one, it may also snap off without the other one there to support it.
Reply:maybe she broke her tooth from chewing on the cage trying to escape my hamster does that alot and i always think shes gonna break one of her teeth.

My friends went to this dental clinic in Cancun as walk ins and they were blown away by the facilities and the care from the doctors there. They said they have NEVER experienced this first class service on any other dentist in USA. They got a smile makeover while on vacation in Cancun and I'm also planning to go there after they told me snap in dentures cost there. $1,200 USD!! With abutment and crown included. Hahaha, Wish me luck!
