Content: Science Behind Dogs with No Teeth
When a puppy reaches between 3 and 6 weeks of age, they grow 28 teeth, which are also called milk teeth. At this age, puppies do not eat a great deal of hard food, so they do not have a need for molars, but the teeth that they do have are sharp anyway. It is at around 4 months of age that a puppy loses these milk teeth and develop 42 new adult teeth When a dog loses an adult tooth or teeth, that may be a cause for concern. The usual cause of adult tooth loss in dogs is periodontal disease. This is caused when gums that are inflamed are also combined with inflammation of the bone and the structures related to teeth support. Studies show that 85% of dogs who are aged 4 and over can be affected by this disease, and it not only causes tooth loss, but it can also cause many other health issues, too. Trauma is the other reason for tooth loss; for example, if your dog gets in a fight with another dog or suffers a head-related injury. Caring for a Dog with No Teeth
