My dog loss its tooth?

I found my dog with a missing tooth today, not sure where the tooth is but is it normal. He is only 6 mths old.





Will he get a new tooth like human and other animals

My dog loss its tooth?
Awww, poor little puppy.. You don't need to worry though. As the others have already told you, it's perfectly normal. I'm guessing that your pup is probably about way done with teething, but you still might be lucky enough to find another tooth or two. I have 3 of my dog's baby teeth in her scrapbook.





Puppies have no teeth at birth, and grow deciduous teeth beginning their second week of life. 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.





Dogs have 28 deciduous (temporary) teeth and 42 permanent teeth.
Reply:puppies lose their teeth, it's completely normal. they'll grow their adult teeth, just like us. :-) Dont worry about it. :)
Reply:Yes he lost a milk tooth (baby tooth) He will loose all his teeth including the molars. New adult will grow back in their places.
Reply:yes it will get teeth back it has happened to my dog there is nothing wrong its very natural
Reply:It's normal, they begin losing teeth around 4 months of age. The most probable reason why you didn't find it is this: the puppy teeth usually come out when they are eating so they swallow it. You many see it come out another end soon enough...if you know what I mean!!! LOL - no worries, it's totally normal:)
Reply:Yes! They lose teeth like baby's. Don't worry it'll regrow
Reply:just put it under the dog's pillow and wait for the fairy dog mother, lol
Reply:This is completely normal. Puppies lose their teeth just like little kids do. An adult dog tooth will grow in place of it.
