Has anyone had any experience getting a dog's tooth fixed? I hear that a
dentist can put in a crown, and have to admit that the idea of Solo with a
big gold tooth in front is a bit amusing. I know it sounds ridiculous,
and if it were any other tooth but a canine I'd just have it pulled. But
the upper canine is so structurally important I'd rather he kept the root
at least. Or am I worrying for no reason?

Wallace broke a bottom canine.

My vet gave me three option:
Cap it.
Pull it.
Watch it.

Went with just watching it.
It's 4 (I think) years later and no problems.

Same here. Fancy was a fence chewer back in her kennel days and as a result
all of her canines were very worn and narrow in spots. One day while I was
out she freaked in her crate and broke off the ends of *all* of her canines.
It's been years and nary a problem.
