My dog's lower tooth is swollen and painful. Should I see a vet?

Question

Hello My pet dog is having swelling in its lower tooth and its very painful.

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

A swelling like that typically represents and abscess or a tumor (some of which can be malignant). I recommend to have your pup examined by the veterinarian today. He will need to be sedated and have an x-ray of that area to get a better idea of what is happening. I hope this helps.
