My dog's tooth is loose and painful. Is it a baby tooth or serious?

Question

Hello, I am really concerned about my dog's teeth. I just noticed that the one on the left is about to fall out. It's really loose but i cannot even touch it, it hurts and bothers him. Any ideas? Is it a baby teeth? Shout it fall out by itself? Thank you. Janos. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 22 lbs

Hi Janos. No, this is not a baby tooth. Sammy would have started losing those around 4 months of age. This is an adult tooth, and it suggests serious dental disease when one is falling out. You need to take him into a vet asap to get this treated. Best of luck.
