Hello there! It's great that you've noticed this unusual tooth – being observant about changes in your pup's mouth is important. What you're describing might be a condition known as "supernumerary teeth," which means your dog might have an extra tooth. These can sometimes pop up around the front teeth and aren't always problematic.
In some cases, these extra teeth happen because of genetic factors. They can occasionally cause overcrowding, which might lead to discomfort or issues with chewing. To keep things comfy and healthy, make sure you’re brushing your dog's teeth regularly and keeping an eye out for any signs of irritation or redness around the gums.
At home, continue to monitor for any changes in the mouth, such as swelling, difficulty eating, or pain when you touch the area. If you notice any of these signs, it might mean the tooth is causing more problems than just cosmetic ones.
For extra peace of mind, it’s a good idea to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look, discuss what you’re seeing, and help determine if it needs further attention. Your pup’s dental health is super important, and we're here to support you!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
