I will probably still go, I sent the pics to my vet to see what he thought. I know it's going to be tough bringing her to the vet. They will most likely have to sedate her out to check out her teeth and that's what scares me the most.
To me the other tooth still looks a bit chipped but nothing like how the other one was. She doesn't seem to be in pain but she seems a bit more on edge recently. I also stopped taking her on her usual swimming sessions because I thought she might start playing with random things on our out time and hurt herself more. That's probably why she is more on edge.
I have so many things going on with my other animals right now, man when it rains it pours.
I've worked numerous earth terriers that were missing incisors. Not a big deal.
The upper canines are trouble makers. If the are broke off at the gum line or below, serious infection can get into the sinus cavity. They definitely need to be pulled in that instance.

My GSD lost one of her bottom incisors years ago and hasn't had any problems because of it. Hers was always a little crooked and one day just fell out. She didn't seem to have any pain or miss it. I did take her in to be seen and was told that the tooth probably didn't have much of a root to begin with.
Well after going to her vet dentist, he said it looks like the pulp is showing in the other chipped tooth. She is going in tomorrow to get it extracted. I'm not sure if it needs to be extracted or not since he really didn't get a good look at the tooth.
Should I tell them tomorrow that once they put her under tomorrow to give me a call to see if it still needs to be extracted? She is still getting her teeth cleaned afterall.

Absolutely have them call you when they get a good look. You need to have all the information so that you can make the best choice for your dog. I am uncomfortable leaving decisions to others even if they are the professionals.
I'm sure she'll be fine. It makes me feel better if I have the information and an opportunity to participate it treatment decisions.
