I had just noticed my cat has lost one of his front bottom teeth, does this merrit taking him to the vet? He does not seem to be in pain or anything.

No that is usually not a problem and does not require any medication. Just monitor his appetite in the next 24 hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
