I picked up an adult male bearded dragon today, he seems to have a slight underbite, the very front of his jaws are not aligned. When I inspected his mouth, half of his tongue is swollen and he has a few swollen areas surrounding the very last teeth on his upper jaw. Some of his teeth are black, all of my other dragons have very white teeth. I'm thinking the sore is from an infected tooth. Has anyone seen this? I wasn't able to get him into a vet today but I did soak some q-tips in Listerine and clean up the area really well which resulted in some slight bleeding and then put some ambusol on the area for pain relief.
Anyway, I'm curious if anyone has ever had dental problems in a beardie, I've had them for over 10 years now and haven't, I'm just kinda wondering what to expect from the vet.
