I need a dentist for my gecko... or at least some info. My tokay has a few black teeth on one side and what looks like maybe tooth decay in its bottom lip gums. does anyone know of any meds or cleaning tool of some sort? Thanks! Peace

you might also want to make sure it's not early signs of mouth rot

What could cause mouth rot?

[thehotchik1000]

An infection left untreated. And that does sound like a very plausible answer though.

yeah, the infection could get into the system through a tiny scratch in the gum caused by a carapace of a beetle, even crickets can cause some damage to the inside of the mouth if the gecko catches it in an akward way. Due to the humid environment bacteria of all types thrive. Some of that gets into the geckos system and wrecks havoc. Good news is that it can be easily treated with antibiotics.
