There are a couple of things that you can dothere are some vets that work with small animalsand they could file down the tooth.or you could get a hard wood "toy" for her to chew onat the pet store they have all kinds of wood for them to chew onthey also have some hard healthy treats for them as wellbut if she is too sore and does not chew you will need to have her teeth filed.next time you leave her make sure that she has lots of hard wood to chew onthe older Hamsters get the more that their teeth need to be worn down and they do this by chewing thingsthe older they get the harder woods they need.you should give her things that she can chew on every day this problem will only get worse with age as their teeth get thicker as they age.
