Content: Molars – Dogs do not have baby molars, but there are two permanent molars on each side of the top jaw (maxilla) and three permanent molars on each side of the bottom jaw (mandible). All molars will erupt by 4-7 months of age. Here is an image of an adult canine dental chart. Older Dogs
Vets use the amount of wear and tartar accumulation on your dog’s teeth to determine age when they are older. Dog teeth are typically less pointed after about 5-6 years of age. Your dog’s teeth will depend on their routine (how much they chew, what they chew, and food choice) and previous dental cleanings or at home care. This is why age is harder to determine after puppyhood. Breed ID Kit
