I completely understand why you're worried about your dog's tooth. When a canine tooth chips and exposes the nerve ending, it can be quite painful for your furry friend and may lead to further complications like infections.
The tooth's nerve is extremely sensitive, and when exposed, it can cause significant discomfort. You might notice your dog drooling more than usual, pawing at their mouth, reluctance to eat, or even a change in behavior—possibly appearing more irritable.
At home, try to keep your dog's mouth clean. Offer soft foods to avoid further damage or discomfort, and ensure they have access to plenty of water. It's important to avoid giving anything hard or crunchy that could aggravate the area.
Watch for any signs of infection, like swelling around the mouth, noticeable bad breath, or excessive bleeding. These could indicate a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.
While these at-home tips can help manage your dog's comfort in the short term, a chipped tooth with an exposed nerve should be evaluated by a vet as soon as possible to prevent infection or more severe dental issues. I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet so we can take a closer look and guide you on the next steps.

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
