Dentition of puppies and adult dogs
The provisional dentition (i.e. when they have a complete set of baby teeth) is complete when they have 28 teeth in total. These 28 milk teeth are made up of: 4 canines (2 upper and 2 lower)
12 incisors (6 upper and 6 lower)
12 premolars (6 upper and 6 lower)
The deciduous teeth of puppies are not the same as their adult teeth. not only do they have a different composition, but their appearance is different. They are smaller and sharper than their adult teeth, the later being strong and more rounded. The first appearance of teeth in puppies is very important for the weaning stage.
