Hi I can't believe I missed your thread, first of all I want to give you a great big welcome to Yorkietalk! Around the age of 6 months many yorkies will lose their baby teeth, they often have a problem losing all of them, and most of us have to get some pulled during a spay or neuter. Some people recommend chewing toys to get them to lose the teeth on their own. This is also a good time to start a tooth brushing routine. They are getting their permanent teeth and since yorkies are prone to tartar, dental care is very important. You can find toothpaste especially made for dogs with a flavor that appeals to them. At first they won't like it, but in time they fight less. Start with short sessions.

It's been so long since you posted, I wondered how he's doing now?

Welcome to YT! Dexter might just be losing baby teeth...Twinkle didn't lose her last one until she was about 10months. If you're worried get a vet to check him out just to put your mind at rest

I hope you enjoy it here! xxx

I like C.E.T. toothpaste and dental rinse. C.E.T. also has a very small cat toothbrush that I like to use on my small Yorkie mouths. Be sure and get around the gums. I wasn't brushing Rosie's canine teeth well enough around the gums and they weren't doing so good. Luckily, I had a dental done before it was irreversible. Hope you've figured out what is going on with Denzel's teeth. ~Joanne~

I agree with Nancy's advice about the teething issue. I too would like to welcome you to YT!

If you need anything please just ask and I would be willing to help out any way that I can.
