A common problem seen with deciduous teeth is teeth that are broken.

These teeth are much more fragile than adult teeth and can quite easily be broken especially in "aggressive" puppies such as Bull Terriers etc.

A broken tooth (whether it is a deciduous or permanent) will always form an abscess at the root tip.

In dogs, fractured teeth commonly occur after chewing on an inappropriately hard item, after forceful trauma (such as a baseball bat or golf club accidents), or when a pet gets in a fight with another animal housemate. In puppies, broken teeth are sometimes seen when teeth are intentionally "clipped".
