Hamster teeth

Question
It looks like one of my 3 month old hamster's teeth has fallen out. Is this serious? Does she need treatment? Please help.

Answer
This could be due to a blood glucose level problem. However I am not for sure because I am not a vet and I have not examined your hamster. There could be several causes. If they do not grow back, this could be bad for the teeth that she has if there are any left because the other teeth will not be there for them to grind on and this could cause the teeth to grow too long. make sure you have something safe in there for her to chew on. They make especially for them to chew on in the pet stores. If it seems to cause a problem I would see your vet. Sorry I couldn't give you more information. I hope I helped some. Have a great night.
