MoosMom, my RB Tabitha lost one of her incisors when she was about 15. I found it laying on the carpet one day! My vet also told me to keep an eye out for infection. Years went by and nothing. Then one day she woke up and her widdle face was swollen. Off to the vet we went and they found she had an infection. Tabby being the stubborn cat refused to open her mouth for the vet so they couldn't tell if the infection was in the spot where the tooth was missing. But they gave me some amtibiotics for her and she was better within a week.

So I guess what I am saying is to always keep an eye on it. By the way, Tabby lived to be 21 (2 months shy of 22!) so the infection seemed to not have affected her health all that much!

Kissies for all of your babies!
