Content: Dogs, like humans, grow two sets of teeth. However, compared to our 32 teeth (plus or minus any human wisdom teeth) dogs have an extra 10 teeth to make a total of 42. The first set of teeth for a dog, like ours, are deciduous. A deciduous tooth, aka a baby tooth or milk tooth, is temporary. Deciduous teeth fall out naturally and a permanent set of adult teeth with different functions replace them. Puppy teeth start to come in at around two weeks of age. This set of 28 deciduous teeth takes around 8-10 weeks to grow and then fall out again when a puppy is between the ages of three to five months old. A dog’s permanent teeth start to come in at around when they are four months old. By the time a dog is six months of age, all of their adult canine teeth should have begun to appear, or erupt, in their mouth. Mature dogs have a total of 42 teeth of four types, each with a different function.
