I am a veterinary technician who works for a veterinary dentist. You need to take your ferret to a veterinary dentist or find a veterinarian who is at least experienced in dentistry. If a tooth is broken and has an exposed root canal it can be painful and a route for infection. Ask your veterinarian to refer you to one with more dental experience.
