Content: However, after 3 weeks of birth, the upper canine and incisor milk teeth start to appear. They are thinner and more square than their adult teeth. When they are about to complete their first month of life, we can see the emergence of these teeth in the lower jaw also. If the puppy is about to reach 4 months of life, we can observe the eruption of their central incisors in both upper and lower jaws. This indicates their permanent dentition has already begun to appear. After about 10 months of life, all the permanent teeth should be present, even if they are still developing. Around the first year of age, the permanent dentition should be complete. These teeth should be very white in appearance and have no tartar. At this age, their incisors will no longer be as square as their temporary teeth. Instead they will have rounded edges in a ‘fleur de lis’ shape which you can observe in the picture below.
