My adult cat has a loose tooth. Should I be worried? What to do?

Question

My cat is over a year old and has a tooth that is loose. Should I be worried. Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

I'd be worried in that this will be painful to Dublin. In addition, food could get caught under the loose tooth, leading to infection. This tooth will likely have to be removed, which can be done under sedation by your vet. I recommend making an appointment with your vet tomorrow to have them examine this loose tooth and removed it as needed.
