No it doesn't make a difference....what you're watching for is how it is affecting the bite.....whether they are going undershot or overshot or rye mouth, that of course looking at how the jaw is growing......
You may luck out and not have to have any baby teeth pulled, more than likely it's the canines that will require pulling. I've only had one yorkie that the canines didn't have to be pulled.
The one thing I highly recommend is that you have a vet that does the dental. Most vet's have their vet techs do it....that's where the problems come in of not knowing which teeth to pull. My opinion is that if I'm paying high vet prices, I want the vet to do it. Other wise I'll find another vet.
