Missing teeth

Every patient that appears to have missing teeth should be evaluated further using dental radiographs.  Some pets have teeth that failed to erupt and these unerupted or emdedded teeth may create dentigerous cysts.  If dental radiographs confirm missing teeth, the owner should understand the potential for genetic transmission of missing teeth.  These animals and their siblings should not be used for breeding.  If dental radiographs demonstrate malformed or abnormal teeth, further treatment may be required.
