| Baby Teeth? Do Yorkies have baby teeth, at 6 months i have noticed a few of his teeth falling out and others growing in, is this normal? Also how do i clean his teeth? Is there any special products for this? and right in the front of his mouth he seems to have two rows of teeth, he has his regular row of teeth and right in front he has 3 really little teeth, will they fall out on their own?

| Can I use regular toothpaste, or does his teeth just need to be scrubbed.

| That is normal and a good thing. You want the baby teeth to fall out naturally, otherwise they'll have to be removed. Brushing is the best for keeping teeth clean and healthy. Petzlife is a great product that can be found at PetSmart; or other pet toothpastes can be used. DO NOT use human toothpaste. |

| I agree with all the previous posters. Additionally vets typically remove the remaining baby teeth during a spay or neuter surgery when they are under anesthesia.

| Losing teeth Pebbles needed to loose one more baby tooth behind the eye tooth 4 mths. ago ( she was a year old on Dec.1). I was planning on scheduling while I had a few days off this week. I didn't have to, she lost it while pulling on toys with her "brother" this week, I found it on the carpet two days ago. So they can still loose them around a year old.
