I will go along with that Mrs D, a dog of mine done the same thing years ago after grabbing a rock I had thrown... incidentally she never caught a thing before?!! and the vet said it was not causing probs so leave alone and she never had prbs with it in all her 14 yrs.

Hi ST! Maybe your body has sorted your tooth out! I know with dogs especially, if there is a chip/ fracture with some root exposed then the body initially puts up a protective layer to stop the root being exposed /being so sensitive, which is why they don't obviously have any sensitivity if the tip of a canine is fractured, for example

Actually it is fine now for some strange reason, and I dont wanna visit the dentist unless I really have to........ not that I am scared........ well just of the bill as I am a private patient now, no NHS funding

aw poor you, I am sure that would be very sensitive, ouch!

Something similar happened me once while eating popcorn. Funnily enough, I had no bother with it until the dentist supposedly fixed it - that was when the pain actually started and it has never been right since. I suspect a nerve was damaged in the process and it is still quite sensitive.

I hope you will get it repaired though?
