Our Guinea Pigs top teeth are both broke

Question
Hello,
This morning I notice our Guinea Pig Snickers top teeth are both broken and they look like they are hanging there. Her will not let me touch them. I called the vet and they are closed. We crushed some carrots for him and he ate them all and drank some water. Do i need to take him to the vet or will they fall out, grow back or will I need to take him to get them taken out? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Debra

Answer
Unfortunately, losing teeth can mean death for a guinea pig. You need to get a vet appointment ASAP though to see what they can do.

Do you know what he could have broken them on? It sounds pretty serious and needs to be dealt with, once again, ASAP.
