| At first it was cute, but now I'm worried! Hi everyone, a few days ago I related my experience of witnessing Chanel loose her first tooth. Now, I am really worried, over the course of three days she has lost 4 more teeth!!! This can't possibly be normal, is it?!?!?! The second tooth she lost was an ingrown tooth, which I was happy about, but the others have been molars. The last tooth that can out was yellow (yuk), I don't think it was 100% tooth decay, or the whole thing would be black and yellow. She does not really play with her toys much so I know they were not yanked out. I have a vet appointment later this month, but if she continues at this rate she WILL have NO teeth left!!! |

| Hi...how old is Chanel? If she is teething it is quite normal for them to loose several teeth around the same time. Some may look like molars but they don't have roots...they're just hollow. |

| Welcome to YT! How old is she? When puppies are teething they can loose several baby teeth at a time or over a short amount of time.

| I just found your other post where you say Chanel is about 7 months old. Don't worry about the teeth...she's teething right now and she should be losing all of her baby teeth as the adult teeth come in. You can help her by playing tug of war with her and her toys. Have your vet check her teeth in a couple of months to see if she's retaining any puppy teeth. Do you plan to have her spayed? If so you can have the remaining puppy teeth pulled when she goes under for spaying. |

| Thanks everyone, what a relief!! I definatly plan on having her spayed within the next few weeks, so the remaining baby teeth can come out then. Thanks again |

| This is perfect, because I was going to ask the same question tonight! Georgia has had 3 teeth fall out in the past 3 days, and I was worried too! I can't believe I actually found them all because they're so small! |

| I just went through the same thing with Otis. I found about 8 or 9 teeth within like two and a half weeks, but he plays tug of war with his older sister and that helped them to come out and he was about 4 months old and the vet told me that was normal. It is so weird though but his adult teeth have almost all came in now....

| Totally Normal!! No worries, My Chloe never lost any of her teeth, we called her our little parana cause she had 2 sets of chompers! HA...as soon as she went in for spaying we had him take out the extra teethers....it's good that your babies loosing teeth...you can help out like they said by playing tug of war...
