I had a foster whose teeth were worn to the gums both top and bottom. The vet said it was from chewing on a cage. He also said she experienced no pain as a result of worn down teeth. As the teeth wear the roots and nerves go deeper. If she's grinding like a human it could be anxiety or another problem tooth.<br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Does anyone's else out there have a basset who's
teeth are worn down in front? Thelma's teeth in front really look like they are
worn down and she is estimated to only be 3-4 years old. She just chomps
her teeth together all the time though. You can hear her across the room chomp
chomp chomp. I don't know why she does that either. Kathy with Daisy Mae
and Thelma Lou in snowy VA.</font></div></div>
