Hi all. I recently noticed that there are thin dark lines on my dog's canine teeth. She doesn't appear to be in pain, and still eats, plays, drinks water just fine. I'm mostly worried cause they almost look like they could be small fractures of some kind. I have her going in to the vet to get examined and have her teeth cleaned as soon as she can, but I just want to know if I should find another vet that can see her sooner if this is something serious.
