| They are falling out left and right! Hi Everyone. Princess Sophie will be 6 months old on the 4th of June and we have seen, felt, and accidentally brushed out (with her tooth brush) her baby teeth. It seems like she is loosing them left and right. I know we prefer they fall out on their own vs. having to be removed by the Vet during her spay...but this borders on the ridiculous! If her new teeth weren't already visible, I guess I would really be worried but as it stands now, she's lost almost all baby teeth except the lower fangs (as far as we can see). She is still loving us to the bone, as my DH says (thats out bone not hers - LOL)! I feel so very sorry for her because this teething thing must really hurt. We hate to see her grow out of this puppy stage but will be happy when all the biting stops. She is really preferring her kibble moistened which makes it softer for her to eat. My question is, should I continue to brush her teeth each day? I am trying to be really careful but when I brushed one of her teeth out the other day (and that had to hurt), I really felt like a bad mommy. Any suggestions?

YT 2000 Club Member | I think brushing is still a good idea! I just realized the Sophie & Tatiana are only 18 days apart in age! I haven't noticed Tati losing any teeth!

| I think, you should still brush her teeth.... I stopped for 2-3 weeks b/c of this and Crimson was a nightmare to get back into the habit of having her teeth brushed.

| Brushing her teeth out is good. At least you know it came out. I never found not ONE of Mandie's baby teeth. She did lose all but her 2 top canines. Yay, Princess Sophie!! Keep losin 'em!

| I agree, keep brushing. That way you won't have to re-train her when her adult teeth come in.
