A couple of questions about dogs teeth?

My boyfriend told me today that his mom said that dogs teeth mold. I thought he, was crazy, is there any truth in this? I was saving all the puppy teeth that I find and was going to put them in an album with pictures of our dog.


Also, I heard that some dogs eat their teeth, is this true? I've found 4 puppy teeth so far, but I heard my dog crunching on something when she was laying down (in a room without food, or any bones to chew on). I was wondering if she ate her tooth, I tried to look in her mouth but by the time I got to her she had already swallowed whatever it was (I'm not worried about her eating something she wouldn't be, it was over a week ago and she's been fine, normal bowl movements and such).





Thanks!

A couple of questions about dogs teeth?
I have my dogs baby teeth in an album (yeah we are both crazy I guess) and it has been 9 years and they have not molded.





Dogs don't "eat" their teeth. They simply swallow them often unknowingly.
Reply:No, dogs teeth do not mold. They are made out of the same strong enamel that ours our and will stay that way after they fall out.


Yes, some dogs do swallow their teeth, but I have never seen them crunch on them, just swallow them. It isn't harmful and they will move out with the bowel movement.
Reply:In the wild dog's eat almost every part of a carcass. Skin, hair, fat, meat, and bone. It's perfectly normal for them to swallow their teeth it shouldn't cause any complications.





Dog's teeth get plaque and such like humans do if not taken care of.
Reply:No.. Teeth do not mold.. I have kitten teeth from my Siamese cats that I have had since 1983.. They will however eat their teeth when they are puppies.. It happens all the time.. I have never heard of a dog having problems after eating their puppy teeth.. It is very common.
