What to do if Baby Teeth Don’t Fall Out

Content: Baby teeth, also known as deciduous or primary teeth, come in after the puppy or kitten is born, at around two to four weeks of age for kittens and three to four weeks of age for puppies. These teeth are typically smaller, thinner, and appear more fragile. At around eight weeks of age, all the baby teeth should be visible in the mouth. When do baby teeth fall out? It’s hard to say exactly when a puppy or kitten will lose his or her first tooth, but adult teeth start to come in at around 14-16 weeks of age for kittens and 16-20 weeks of age for puppies. By about seven months, all adult teeth should be in, although in some small dog breeds it can take up to a year. What to Expect When Teeth are Coming In or Falling Out
You may not actually notice any changes in your pet as his or her teeth come in or fall out. Rarely will you even find teeth lying around because most pets, believe it or not, will eat their teeth when they fall out. This is not a cause for concern and should not result in any tummy troubles for your pet. Some symptoms you might notice during this time are unusual odor to their breath, picky appetite, or blood-tinged saliva or spit.
