Anatomy and Disorders of the Oral Cavity of Chinchillas and Degus.
Veterinary Clinics of North America. Exotic Animal Practice 2016 September

Most animals with dental disease present with weight loss, reduced food intake/anorexia, and drooling. Degus commonly present with dyspnea. Dental disease has been primarily referred to as elongation and malocclusion of the cheek teeth.
