    Thanks all. I'll just leave it for now as it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. Will take him to the vets if it does seem to start hurting him though.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Ours broke 3 of her bottom front teeth as a puppy and had them removed over 8 years ago. It was £135.

    SNAP!

    I just noticed my 10 yr old staffy has 2 broken teeth, down the bottom, vampire ones (as I call them). I have no idea how this happened, don't seem to bother her either. Should of read this forum before I posted..

    DOH

    I thought the same about my staffie, he didn't appear to be in pain. But when we did finally take him to the vets he had a huge abcess and must have been in pain, the tooth had to be removed. Best to be safe than sorry, get him checked. Mine has had 4 teeth out now due to breaking them, but this is mainly due to him enjoying chewing braches etc so he doesn't chew them anymore :(

    He's not insured either, due to his policy rising to higher than my car insurance. So i pop £40 a month into an account dedicated to him. I think we've paid out about 1k in the last few years on broken teeth.
