Yep! Sounds like baby teeth to me too. Time for the vet to look ... that was one of the things our breeder covered in one of our "interviews"! Yorkies generally do not shed their baby teeth and it's not uncommon for them to grow the permanent ones right alongside the baby teeth. Toto did that and it was sooo uncomfortable for her! We really appreciate our breeder being so candid about the "negatives" as well as positives of having a dog like Toto! Good luck ... keep us posted!
