What Happens When Your Puppy Begins To loose Teeth

Puppies are sweet little fellows and will not stay tiny and "munchy" all their lives. They will eventually grow and become that adorable dog we all love. Part of the growth cycle of the puppy includes it changing out its temporary tooth to permanent tooth. Puppies come with 28 baby tooth which will be replaced by 42 adult or permanent tooth. Teeth begins to emerge from your puppies gum at approximately two weeks old. The puppy teeth or deciduous teeth start with incisors first and then the canine tooth and of course the premolars will follow suit. These puppy teeth are tiny and very sharp, and at this point the puppy will begin to test out its new found tool, its teeth. But even before the tooth are fully emerged, you will notice that the puppy has suddenly taken up chewing on anything it finds. Well, the gums become a bit irritated when those teeth are pushing up and many times the puppy relieves the irritating feeling by biting and chewing on anything it finds. After the temporary tooth have been fully emerged, you can be sure that the biting of slippers and other stuff will follow!

Introducing Dog Food To Your Puppy
Once the teeth are fully emerged and the puppy is comfortable biting and nipping, it would be a good idea to introduce the puppy to puppy dog food. Introduce the pup to a little food by starting off with softer foods such as wet foods and then gradually going to dry foods for pups. Remember that puppies are not full grown dogs and those temporary tooth ate not able to chew up tougher foods and you don't want your puppy to try and swallow it's food because it can't manage to chew it. This will lead to your puppy choking, and no body wants that for their pup.

Puppy Loosing Their Teeth
Your puppy has enjoyed those sharp temporary teeth long enough. When the puppy has matured to about 10 weeks, the temporary or deciduous tooth begin to fall out.

The loss of these temporary tooth allows the permanent tooth to begin its emergence.
The permanent tooth follows the same pattern as it relates to the type of tooth which pushes up first. 
  1. incisors first
  2. canines second
  3. premolars third
  4. molars fourth

Your dog should have all full sets of teeth by the time it reaches 7-8 months. If your dog has not shown any significant growth in teeth at this age or retains its temporary tooth. You have a problems and you will need to seek professional help from your vet. Never try to pull out your dog tooth yourself.  This could lead to excessive bleeding and even infections. Bring your dog to your vet if it is experiencing any teeth problems.

Now that your dog has a full set of strong and powerful teeth, its time to give him his favorite piece of bone to chew down or either bury.
