Should I be concerned that my 3 yr old cat has lost the bottom row of teeth between her two canines?

The tiny teeth between the canines can be knocked out by a fall, hit in the face, or dental disease. It's not unusual, but in a 3 yr old cat it is worth a trip to the vet. The jawbone has a 'seam' right behind those teeth, and what knocked the teeth out may have been hard enough to crack the seam in the bone...





Go get her checked

Yes, cats shouldn't be losing teeth. I would take her to the vet. Worse can senario, she had an infection which made her lose her teeth.
Reply:Yes you should!


I'd want to know why she lost her incisors, don't you?
Reply:no..everyone has differences in there teeth so i cant say that is happens to everyone.but, my sisters cat had the same thing and her teeth are ok.if you need more.. ask a dentisted
Reply:i had a pet rabbit once who did the same thing
Reply:Yes, I would definitely seek medical attention for your cat. There may be an underlying medical problem for her missing teeth.
Reply:Yeah, that's not normal.


A vet should test for feline Lukemia and feline HIV. IF the tests come back negative, and there is no sign of infection, the doctor can tell you what else it might be.


My friends moved across country with their cat, a month later her teeth fell out and the vet said it was stress from the move. Is she stressed at all?


It's still a good idea to have a vet check her over.
