I went to have them checked and the vet is giving us till the end of Feb for them to come out and if not they will have to put him under to extract them. the cost for all 4 teeth is just over 300.00 because they have to put them under (it was like 20 per tooth so the rest is other fees) So it is better to do it when they are going to be under for being fixed in my opinion, one it cost less and two he won't have to go under twice. He has lost 3 of the 4 teeth and the other one looks like it will fall out soon. we have been giving him anything that his hard to chew on to help with this. |
My 6 month old has extra canine teeth too! I'm hoping the baby teeth fall out but if not, do they HAVE to be extracted? From what she lets me investigate, she has 2 adult ones growing in on the inside of the baby ones on the bottom. If it turns out the baby ones don't come out on their own, can I just leave them there?
