Umm, I'm not sure, but I think you can take her to the vet and they can trim the longer tooth to the length of the other. I know if they get too long then they would need trimming .. so maybe they can do it if one is shorter than the other.

Guinea pig tooth problem

so 2 days ago i gave my guinea pig, Sammi a shower, i must have spooked him slightly because he jumped off the little platform in our shower that i had temporarily put him on to shampoo him and avoid getting too wet myself, i think that's when he chipped his left incisor tooth to half the length of the other. so i have been getting him to eat, treats, banana's, fruit and vegetables, ect i also have a salt and nutrition block available to him in his cage but im not sure he is eating his actual food. but just today i found he had also broken his right tooth right down to the gums probably because it was so much longer, im not sure of anything anymore and im afraid he will stop eating, any suggestions, should i take him to the vet even though i already know i should be getting him a critical care package? im worries
