When my puppy loses his teeth will he swallow them???
Puppy Teeth?
More then likely he will swallow one or two. It shouldn%26#039;t have any effect on him at all. I remember swallowing a loose tooth when I was a kid and nothing happened to me.
The only thing you should watch out for is that all the baby teeth fall out. Occasionally a baby tooth doesn%26#039;t fall out by six months, and the adult tooth will try to crowd in next to it. Retained baby teeth should be removed because they interfere with the alignment of the permanent teeth and could cause tooth-root infections.(1)
Reply:Lots of times they do. Some you are likely to find on the floor. No big deal either way.
Reply:yes, they probably will
Reply:He can swallow them or you will find them laying around...if he does swallow them it won%26#039;t harm him.

I just got a shih-tzu/bichon-poo mix. He is 8 weeks old and only has a few teeth just barely poking through the gums. My vet recommended a full set of x-rays to see if there are any permanent teeth present pushing them up. Is that common for the teeth to come in so late? I would hate to do xrays, as they require general anesthesia. Any comments?
