Two teeth can crowd one space
A retained baby tooth may sit beside the new adult tooth, changing alignment and trapping food between them.
Canine teeth are commonly noticed
Owners often see two fang-like teeth together, especially in smaller breeds, but any retained tooth deserves a veterinary look.
Do not wait indefinitely
Your veterinarian can assess whether the tooth is likely to fall naturally or whether removal is recommended.
What to avoid
Keep the response gentle.
Do not wiggle or pull a retained tooth at home.
Safety boundary
When to get more help.
Pain, swelling, damaged adult teeth, or difficulty eating requires prompt veterinary assessment.
