Impacted tooth

Does anyone have impacted teeth with their retic?Maybe once a year from breeding urges,my female pushes and dislodges a tooth inside of her gums.It swells and I have to manually go in and "massage" the tooth out.Clear fluid comes out with the tooth.She eats like a beast even with swelling.She is almost 20 feet long so doing this is a chore.
She is 6 years old and I do not intend to breed her.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I've had a few of my guys get abscessed teeth that get stuck in the gum from hitting a prey item too hard and breaking it off. Just keep an eye on it that it doesn't infect the nasal cavity if it's on the top jaw, and that it doesn't get infected in general.
Any sign of continued swelling or sign of infection, make a vet appointment pronto!

I had the problem until I separated my Big Female Tiger's enclosure and started keeping it covered 24 hours a day, it stopped the pushing.
