Do puppies lose there baby teeth like humans?

I gave my puppy a bone and his tooth broke wondering if he will get adult teeth eventually

Do puppies lose there baby teeth like humans?
Yes they do. Sometimes you will find them around the house and where they sleep. Mostly the dogs loose their teeth while crunching on their dog food and swallow them down.





Don't worry you didn't break your dog with that bone. Before you know it the new one will have replaced it.





I hope this helps good luck!
Reply:yup..dont worry
Reply:My cat did and she got new teeth, and I think a couple of my dogs came out, so I think that your puppy is fine :P
Reply:Yes, they do lose their teeth. Thanks goodness they do...those baby teeth are so pointy.
Reply:yes, I have found them on the floor. Make sure puppy has chew toys. Have fun!
Reply:Yes they do. They cut molars like us too.
Reply:he shure will.make shure he has plenty to chew on
Reply:Yes, they lose baby teeth. But, you should still have the dog checked out in case this was an adult tooth or in case there is something else going on.
Reply:Yes they do. Puppies will eventually loose their baby teeth and the permanent teeth will appear. Most of the dogs swallow their baby teeth when they are eating.
Reply:Yes they do loose their baby teeth... the teeth are of course smaller and softer. Did his tooth break or did he just loose it? Shouldnt have broke just from teething though.
Reply:Yep. I think all mammals do.
Reply:Yes, of course, would you think they keep the same little teeth all thier long lives? no, no.


All mammals loose 'baby teeth' and get adult teeth to last them a long time;


if they only had their little baby teeth in long life, larger animals such as tigers or others the like, would die, as you see, when the teeth break as they try to cut into larger food/ carcuses. your youthful friend is like and will be fine.
Reply:yup they do, I do belive it is about age 4-6 months! But yes they do lose their teeth!
Reply:Yes. This also means they teethe like babies. Make sure he has plenty to chew on, or it will be your furniture. This stage can last months.
Reply:yes, all puppy lose there teeth like humans. sometimes you will not see them lose there teeth. we found 1 tooth from my dog and he has all of his adult teeth. we think they swallow them or eat them.
Reply:Yes, I have a miniature pinscher, and I found several on the floor when she was a puppy. Give your puppy lots of chew toys, I even bought her one of those teething rings for babys and she loved it. One of her baby canine teeth did not fall out and her adult tooth came in, so she had a double row with one tooth, but the vet removed it when she got spayed and microchiped.
Reply:Yes. Don't worry about baby teeth; just wear long sleeves until he gets his adult teeth, and don't let him grab your hair. I wouldn't discipline a puppy for chewing on you while he has baby teeth. They do it to their mothers too. But if he growls and bites, you'd better show him who's the alpha member of the pack.
Reply:Yes, I have a Weimaraner and a Yorkie, they both lost baby teeth and got adult teeth :-)
Reply:yes
Reply:Save the baby teeth. They'll bring you good luck.
Reply:Puppies do lose their teeth. Usually around 5 months, they will lose them and new ones will grow in shortly after. Sometimes you don't even notice when they lose them.
Reply:Yes, they lose their teeth just like we do as little ones

Teeth problems!?

okay so I lost a tooth a long time ago (a year) and now its just barely starting to come in help! it only moves about a tenth of a centimeter every 4 months. how can i get it to come in faster because if i could get my tooth to come in all the way i would have a perfect smile

Teeth problems!?
you just need to wait, there is no process to speed it up and if you force it, you may even get it to come out crooked. Just check on it once in a while and wait so it grows naturally. Then you will have a perfect smile :D

Dog teeth falling out?

we have a 4 month old puppy and she lost a tooth today is it to early for them to lose them.

Dog teeth falling out?
Dont worry - this is completely normal. Try putting her favorite chew toys in the freezer. They love the cold sensation on their swollen gums just like teething babies do. My dobermann loved her Kongs frozen with something tasty inside. Kept her occupied for ages and stopped her chewing valuable items.
Reply:I think it's OK, be prepared for some changes in your dog behaviour, especially some licking and mouthing.
Reply:no
Reply:No thats perfectly normal for her age.
Reply:This is normal, shes just losing her puppy teeth and getting her adult teeth, the same way humans do.
Reply:no that's ok it does start around that time depending on the breed
Reply:They loose their baby teeth between 4-6 months of age.
Reply:no it is fine.. dont worry..:) mine lost hers from 3 months and the last one finally fell out at 7 months...
Reply:no - me girl started to lose her "puppy teeth" a little before then. give her lots of chews as pups are just like babies in the repect of teething pains. We've always given lots of chew toys and brush our dogs teeth on a weekly basis. If you get them used to it at an early age you dont have a huge ordelle as they get older
Reply:Sounds normal to me , i'm sure my dog was that age when she lost hers
Reply:No, as long as it is natural. meaning not when the pup is playing tug a war or something that would make the tooth fall out.
Reply:She's teething! It's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Puppies lose their baby teeth, just like we lost our baby teeth, when we were babies, to make room for the permanent teeth to come in. Alot of times, they swallow the teeth, so you don't even know they are missing.
Reply:she is just loosing her puppy teeth. at about 1- 1 1/2 yrs. of age she will start to loose her back molders. you may find them on the floor. they look like tooth caps.
Reply:Perfect age. They cut their permanent middle incisors at 4 months, so the baby (deciduous) teeth are shed to make room for the permanent teeth. By 5 months all the permanent incisors are in. the permanent canines come in at 6 months, replacing those needle-sharp baby ones. the premolars and molars (cheek teeth) are all coming in during those 2 months also. By 6-7 months the pup should have a full mouth of teeth. Permanent teeth are heavier and not as pointy as baby teeth. Some dogs, usually the smaller breeds, don't shed their baby teeth like they should, and you might see two teeth, a strong big white permanent and a sharper, narrower baby tooth, occupying the same spot. The baby teeth MUST come out for the permanents to grow in straight and correctly. If the baby teeth don't all shed by 6 months, have them removed.





Your pup is still growing (and old enough to be spayed....) at six months so she still needs to chew on things for the growing jaw bones, help keep those teeth growing in straight. At 6 months a pup is about 60% of its total size. That's rule of thumb--doesn't hold for all dogs of any breed, but it's a good estimate.
Reply:puppies lose their teeth between 4-6 months so I wouldn't worry
Reply:no
Reply:no really my pup is 7months and lost her first tooth at 4months your lucky u found it most dogs swollow them
Reply:That is pretty early you should ask a vet.
Reply:sounds pretty early , bring it to the vet ,





it's better safe then sorry ,





good news is it's a pup so it'll grow back

Do kittens lose thier baby teeth like dogs do? I just found a tooth!?

I just found a tooth in my bed next to where my 5 moths old kitty was sleeping. I checked her mouth and it appears to be one of her back teeth. Im assuming this is normal, but I would like to double check. Im sure Im just being a paranoid mom.

Do kittens lose thier baby teeth like dogs do? I just found a tooth!?
Yes. I had 4 kittens who all lost their baby teeth at one point. I was only able to find two of them. I have no idea where the others went, maybe they swallowed them. It's totally normal and I think it's cute.
Reply:Yep, they change the babyteeth around that age. Don't worry, she'll grow the new ones soon.


Take care of her!
Reply:Yes they do, between 5-7 months old.
Reply:YES ITS NORNAL
Reply:yes they do


I found a tooth too
Reply:Yes! They do lose teeth. I am at that stage with my kitten too. Except it's loose right now but hasn't fallen out. It freaks me out though because I never seen any of my cats actually lose a tooth before. Plus my kittens breath smells like garbage...so I hope he's not having problems.
Reply:Our little kitten lost a tooth too my sister found it i think its normal .dont worry put it under her kitty pillow so the kitty tooth fairy can leave her a kitty treat lol
Reply:Kittens start to lose their baby teeth at about 3-3.5 months old, and usually have all of their adult teeth fully erupted by 6-7 months old. They lose their incisors (front teeth) first, then the canines (fangs )come in, and last the molars (back teeth), so it sounds like your cat is right on schedule :)
Reply:well at least you found it, my kitten lost hers when she was munching on my finger one day...I took my hand away after a particularly nasty bite and the tooth was stuck in my finger....very not fun. so yeah it's normal.
Reply:Yes... kittens loose their "baby teeth" just like us. I know how you feel - I too freaked out when this happened to one of my cats ohhhh eons of years ago when I didn't know cats have baby teeth too.

Should I brush my kittens teeth?

Charlie is 31/2 months...on the verge of losing his baby teeth

Should I brush my kittens teeth?

Charlie will have excellent dental health because you are such a caring kitty caretaker.





Purrs to you and Charlie.

Reply:is he 2 years old or 31 or what? yeah you can wipe them but you can also get dental biscuits
Reply:no
Reply:well yes because just like us their teeth hurts also although it smells horrible
Reply:yes get him started as soon as you can get him use to it, you should do this about once a week preferably but if you can only do it once a month it should be alright, just don't let it go beyond that.
Reply:No, the cat can swallow the toothpaste and it is very harmful.
Reply:No you dont have to. There is cat food with tarter control.
Reply:yes, you should brush his teeth. It will also make his breath smell good. I brush my cats teeth once a week. I have been doing it since he was a kitten and now he is 3 years old. It has become a routine for us.

Question on new kitten and her adult teeth?

My kitten is 19 weeks old. I got her almost 3 weeks ago %26amp; recently learned about brushing her teeth. It appears 2 me that she has 2 sets of upper canines, which I'm almost sure she didn't have a couple weeks ago. I wonder if that could be the cause of the recent, very occassional, grinding/clicking noise I hear. Should there be a 'layover' period for losing the baby teeth? I have tried to scour the internet for pictures that would help, but I've found nothing. Her breath doesn't smell, %26amp; she has free feeding of wet %26amp; dry food, %26amp; chooses both, %26amp; has been fetching %26amp; chomping on her toys as usual (so I'm hoping she's not in pain). I feel a little ill, waiting until Monday 2 go 2 a vet, but I'm looking for some advice in the meantime... She has an apppointment @ the ASPCA to be spayed this week, but they are only able 2 do a spay on site (I had 2 wait bcause her health was so bad when they rescued her she couldn't handle a surgery). However, I don't know if 2 surgeries is a good idea

Question on new kitten and her adult teeth?
It is just a simple jank to take out baby teeth that are inhibiting the adult teeth as they are ready to come out anyway.





So that will not be a separate surgery. I would call the ASPCA as soon as you can to verify this information. A vet should look at her before she goes in for her spay.
Reply:I know that cats do lose baby teeth, and sometimes the new ones don't line up properly and will not push the baby ones out. It's nothing to panic about, but if the teeth haven't come out by Monday I would see a vet just to be safe. They may have to be removed; talk to the vet about the spaying and see what he/she says about two procedures in one week. It really depends on whether or not they would need to use anaesthetic to get the baby teeth out. But if she's acting normally, don't worry about it. She'll be fine until next week.
Reply:The grinding and clicking noise, in addition to the constant licking, flicking of the tongue along the teeth is indicative of loose tooth. I provide straws, cardboard boxes, and feed only dry food and hard treats to help my kittens naturally lose those baby teeth.





I don't see anything wrong with going through with the spaying procedure unless your kitten is ill. From your details, it does not sound like your kitten is going through any teething problems at the moment.

Lost retainer - moved teeth?

My teeth aren't crooked or anything they just kind of moved in direction, not angle. If you know what I mean. The right half (my right) moved inwards and a little to the left so two of my teeth are kind of overlapping. If I get a new retainer, this is something it will fix, right? I'm kind of scared to go back to the orthodontist because they're really stern. ):

Lost retainer - moved teeth?
I tend to neglect wearing my retainer, and so I know from experience...


Yes, your teeth are shifting, and they can get worse over time. Go get a new retainer and fix the problem. It may hurt to wear it the first few nights because it is working at shifting your teeth back. You paid the money to wear the braces, fix them now before the shift too much!
Reply:If you go to the orthodontist they should be able to give you a new retainer for a fee, and it's pretty likely that your teeth will go at least most of the way back as long as you commit to wearing your retainer all the time for a while. It will be painful though like braces part 2.
Reply:Well, if your teeth are OVERLAPPING, then you might need some adjustments to your retainers.. thus you'd have to make contact with your orthodontist.I recommend doing something soon though before you have to get braces again in the future
