Also time to get husband a canine, perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
tooth
'a canine perhaps' is the definition.
(canine is a type of tooth)
'also time to get husband' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'too' (synonyms).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'too'+'t'+'h'='TOOTH'
(Other definitions for tooth that I've seen before include "Canine, for example" , "Canine or incisor?" , "Nipper" , "Gearwheel projection" , "Let it stand" .)
