Do puppies teeth fall out when new ones are coming in? Is it just like kids when their teeth fall out?

It sounds like a dumb question, but I just noticed that my 4.5 month puppy has a hole on his gums, it looks like a tooth fell out. Do you think it might be that it fell off cuz he ate something hard? HELP!

Yup, puppy teeth fall out just like yours and mine.
Reply:sure
Reply:Pups have baby teeth just like we do. All of his baby teeth should be out by the time he is 5 1/2 months; adult teeth will be fully in by eight months.
Reply:Yes they do.
Reply:Puppies lose their teeth just like human babies. I actually still have my dog's first tooth--we even put it under her dog bed and the tooth fairy brought her a chew toy :)





I know, sounds wierd, but my dog is as much a part of my family as my kids--and they got a kick out of it too!





Don't worry, your pup is perfectly normal.
Reply:YES !!
Reply:Yes, the puppy teeth fall out when their adult teeth start coming in :) Take Care


P.S. The only dumb question is the one not asked when you have a question or concern :)
Reply:Yes thier teeth do fall out like kids...but make sure that the hole isn't from something else. it is ok to get him checked out by a vet. Even if it is nothing...it will make you feel better and you are being very responsible by making sure it is not something serious that would be very exspensive to get it treated later!
Reply:it's exactly like that, some dogs will swallow their baby teeth, it's nothing to worry about.
Reply:Totaly normal!


I freaked out the first time I saw it happen and there was blood all over his chew toy. I took him to the vet and every thing. but yea not a problem at all!
Reply:All I know is when my lab was a puppy all of sudden every where w elooked we seen her baby teeth, and sure enough her adult teeth were coming in soon after.
Reply:yes they do fall out. but you are probably not going to find any on the ground or anything because he probably will swallow them and not even know it.
Reply:It probably fell out because he is losing his baby teeth( those sharp ones) I would wait and see if in the next 2 or 3 weeks his adult teeth start comming in. If you are concerned call you vet he will be glad to check it out.
Reply:Yes they do lose their baby teeth although you rarely find their lost tooth, I imagine they probably end up in the vacuum. LOL. But it is perfectly normal, that's why puppies are always chewing on everything and you should always have something for him to chew on.
Reply:yes their teeth fall out just like ours do when we get new ones. they usually end up swallowing them though.
Reply:Yes- puppies do shed their deciduous (baby) teeth up until around six months. Some small breeds have difficulty and then your Veterinarian has to remove those teeth.


When you are taking your puppy in for its monthly puppy shots you can ask your Vet to look and tell you how the process is going with your pup.
Reply:yes all puppies have baby teeth just like kids, and dogs sometimes even loose their teeth when they get old.
Reply:Yes. When he does start losing his teeth you'll probably find them in the bottom of your feet! They are sharp little stinkers.
Reply:Yes you are right, beware he may start chewing give him, plenty of his own chew toys.
Reply:Don't worry, it's perfectly normal. When puppies are teething, they lose their baby teeth, in order to make room, for the permanent one's to come in. It's just like us, when we were babies and teething.
Reply:no,well,at least I don't think so.= -(
