Does a puppy usually loose his rear teeth?

Puppies are supposed to lose their teeth. If you're lucky, you might even find a few. Otherwise whey are swallowed, with no ham done.





At three months of age, the deciduous teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent teeth.





The replacement process begins with the incisors, and moves backwards through the canines, premolars and finally the molars. The turnover process is usually complete by the time the dog is eight months old, with none of the original 28 deciduous teeth remaining. Most deciduous teeth are swallowed with food and never seen by the pet owner. Occasionally a deciduous tooth is merely pushed to the side and retained next to the permanent tooth. Retained deciduous teeth can be removed by a veterinarian.





The incisors turn over from deciduous to permanent from two to four months of age. The canines usually convert around six months of age. The premolars and molars follow in that order, with the last permanent molar erupting around eight months of age.





The exact schedule does vary from breed to breed

A puppy will lose its baby teeth and they will be replaced by adult teeth.
Reply:Puppies lose their first set of teeth just like human babies.


They also go through teething when they are getting their teeth, and that is why puppies like to chew on socks, shoes, just about anything to make their gums feel better.

Reply:Yes. I'm 10 and I have a Sharpeii and dogs do lose their rear teeth, but they will soon grow back into adult teeth.
Reply:yes. I collected my dog's rear baby teeth hehe.
Reply:If your puppy lost its rear teeth they will come back because he lost his baby teeth and then the adult teeth will come in. You have to make sure that his adult teeth don't come or take it to the vet if the dog is haveing problems with its teeth.
Reply:Yes puppies loose all their "baby" teeth, usually by 6 months of age, that are replaced w/ permenant teeth. Sometimes in smaller breeds the baby teeth don't fall out and the permenant teeth still grow in leaving the dog w/ a double set of teeth. (They can easily be removed by your vet.)
Reply:They lose all their deciduous teeth and grow permanant ones.
