Jezebel's bottom fangs did exactly the same as what you describe, the adult teeth coming in on the inside of the baby teeth. The baby teeth did loosen up and come out on their own, and the adult teeth moved outward into the proper position. I waited until about 8 months for her spay just to give all of the teeth a chance to fall out on their own. The only ones that had to be removed were the 2 upper canines, and I think I was charged only about $20 each.

A good portion of the costs for any surgery is the pre-surgical bloodwork, anesthesia, OR equipment, pain meds. You will only have to pay these costs once if you get the teeth done the same time as the spay. Not to mention the risk of going under anesthesia twice if you get this done separately.

If I were you, I would wait a little longer to give them as much of a chance as possible to let them fall out on their own. Give your pup things to chew on and play tug of war.
