    Default Chipped tooth?

    So one of my squirrels plays pretty rough, always bites (not to be aggressive) & I noticed it felt sharper than usual. Just want to make sure this will grow back normal. I’m thinking she just chipped it when trying to climb down (she has no front arms so her face may have taken the fall this time).

    It’s hard to see in the picture. It should regrow, but watch for alignment problems and that her bottom teeth don’t wear down properly.

    I’m not sure if others will recommend that you do a slight trim to even out the edges if it’s significantly sharp or not?

    Thanks! I will keep an eye on those bottom teeth to make sure the one lining up with the chipped one doesn’t overgrow. Hopefully the top will grow back before it becomes a problem. It’s not a jagged edge or anything so I think she’s ok if I leave it for now

    I’d just watch it if it’s not jagged.
