    I don't think it's an emergency. Make an appointment next chance you get for a dental. And start saving your money.
    Their teeth are so tiny, but our vet charges about $100 a tooth for an extraction. Hopefully, Tommy will get a clean bill of health.

    Give Tommy a special (soft) treat. He just saved you $100 by getting rid of the tooth himself.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    We would like the kitty tooth fairy to deliver hugs, snuggles and lovies. I hope Tommy's toothies are okay! Tommy, sweety, please come out from under the bed so mum can look at your mouth. Please please.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    It worked, Elise, he heard you and came out! It is an upper tooth which came out. BIG hole, looks like 2 spaces? Not bleeding, though.

    My opinion - go first thing in the morning, but I think you're OK for tonight. You need to see (just like in humans!) what caused the tooth to release.

    Fortunately this doesn't require a trip to the ER. My Poppy also lost a fang last year and I just brought him to my regular vet. Unfortunately his broke off and the root was still in the gum, so he had to have that removed. But while he was under he got his teeth cleaned and he did just fine. I'm sure your Tommy will also.
