| My sweet girl's teeth - PLEASE HELP Hi everyone, I am new to forums, so please bear with me if I am doing this wrong. My name is Kristie and my sweet Yorkie (Gracie) will be 7 months old on October 15th. I noticed this evening that she has two rows of teeth. Her baby teeth have not fallen out yet. Is this normal for her age, or do I need to take her to the vet? Any help/advice you can give is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hi and welcome to YT ! Many yorkie puppies have double sets of teeth bc the baby teeth don't fall out. What most of us do is have the retained baby teeth removed when they have their spay/neuter done. If it's already done, then yes, you'll need to schedule a time to put her under and have them removed. They must be removed bc otherwise, severe decay will happen due to the crowding.

| Very normal for yorkies to have some extra teeth removed by the vet under anesthesia. Most people get this done at the same time as spaying and neutering so they only have to go under once. You don't want to wait to long though because it can mess up the alignment of there adult teeth and cause food to get stuck between then and the adult teeth causing decay.

| My yorkie had a baby tooth fall out at 11 months old, so I would say it is pretty normal. Before it fell out, the tooth was right next to her adult tooth.
