Should I worry about my puppy's adult tooth growing in sideways?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | neutered | 6 months and 5 days old | 28 lbs

Asher has all of his adult teeth in except for a couple of molars. I noticed that on his bottom row of teeth, the incisor right next to a canine is coming out horizontally instead of vertically, it’s really odd and no it’s not his baby tooth. All of his other teeth are great. Mia has gotten her adult teeth in as well and hers is so perfect it’s like she had braces. Should I worry about this one tooth coming in so oddly like? Couldn’t get a picture.

I'm sorry but we really need to see a photo. It is extremely difficult to say if it will be a problem without seeing it. If you can get a photo and post it that would be great. If you cannot get a photo, then I suggest you have your vet take a look so they can give you advice.
