My doe was head butting with the Queen today and broke off one of her front permanent teeth. Her bottom lip is a little swollen but she is still eating and seems ok. What kind of problems is this going to cause her or me in the future?

Should be ok. How far down the tooth did it break?

right to the gum line. They were butting but it did not look like a real serious thing. Guess it was more serious than it looked:(

If it was broke off and the cavity is exposed, an infection is possible. Just keep an eye on it.
