How did she break the tooth? I have seen this many times over the years. What most people don't realize is how much torque is put on teeth. I've seen many teeth knocked out and folded back beside the gum. When you cut it out there's bone attached to it. This happens a whole lot when a dog catches across the top of the head, the snout, or anywhere there is bone on bone contact so to speak. An ear will give by coming off, flexing, or tearing out. A bone doesn't have that ability so when there is bone to bone and enough force is applied, the weaker of the two has to give. If the there was enough pressure to break the tooth, there's a possibility that the jaw bone could be broke or fractured around that area. Teeth also have nerves. Sometimes when they get broke, an exposed nerve will abscess. This will cause them to not want to be comfortable.
