Tooth rot?

[quigleysmom]

I noticed this morning when my beardie was yawning that on the right side bottom of his mouth he has a gray line of teeth. The rest are pearly white. I got a pic but have to go to work. Is it normal to have discoloration in some teeth or should I see the vet?

Here is a photo of what I saw this morning. Not sure if that are greens sticking to his teeth or a bigger problem. I have never seen it in his mouth before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have never experienced teeth rot but to me they look nice and healthy. I tried to look up the answer to help more and found myself on a bearded dragon dissection page - awful- didn't want to see that!! What i found out is apparently discoloration can happen sometimes and its not necessarily a problem. I couldn't find any more information, sorry. Just keep an eye on them, if they darken or become loose then id see a vet, but for now i think they look ok

I have been researching online too and could not come up with anything that looked even close. Thanks for answering though. I will keep an eye on him just to make sure it doesnt get worse.

Do you give him vitamin and calcium suppliments regularly?

How's the UVB situation?

calcium every day multi everyother day and a new megaray mvb for which he is 12 to 18 inches from it depending on where he is in his tank. He also has a basking spot ontop of his viv that has a reptisun 10.0 that he is 6 inches away from it while he is looking out the window. His lights are 12 on 12 off. I think it might be food stuck in his teeth. Collard greens are tough.

Sounds like he's getting lots of UVB and proper suppliments. Excellent job.

It's possible he has food stuck in his teeth or food residue. I don't know if you could use a toothbrush or not. Just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse maybe a vet trip might be in order.
