I know that Ella lost all of her baby teeth except for one bottom fang. And, the adult fang grew in right next to it. It is kind of weird. Has anyone experienced this with their baby?? I was hoping it would loosen up and fall out but it has been there for about seven months. Any advice?

I would suggest having your vet remove it.

The vet removes them for relatively little. Mine removes them for about $5 during a neuter. Definitely worth a call. It is rather common with yorkies, but bad teeth are also a problem. The extra tooth could cause more dental problems down the road.

i agree- my baby hasnt lost any yet, so im outta the loop here- but i would call the vet to prevent any future problems

When do they start to lose their baby teeth? Missy doesn't even look like her baby teeth are all the way in yet and she'll be 4 months Thursday.

OR, is that her NEW teeth coming?

Diezel just had 5 wolf teeth extracted when I had him nuetered. In the front he still has 3 baby teeth in front of the ones that grew in. But the vet said those will fall out. It is the larger teeth in the back you want to be careful with

Yes, that just happened to tigger with his upper canines. I was curious as to whether or not they'd come out by themselves. Thanks everyone, I'm calling my vet.

Wosie just barely lost her last baby fang, after the adult fang grew in next to it. She is 7 months old.

Muffie's Mom · 01-24-2006, 10:20 AM

How can I tell if Missy's teeth are baby teeth or permanent teeth?

They're not very far out of the gums.

She's just 4 months old and weighs 4 lbs.

Trace had double canines at the top (he's 11 mths)....one behind the other....one baby canine was very loose and fell out. We keep checking the other but it doesn't seem to be loose at all. He did not have these when he was neutered so now we are waiting and watching......

The baby teeth are much tinier and hollow. The adult teeth are larger and more solid. Nikko started teething at about 5 months old. He too has double canines on the bottom and I am still debating the neutering. Does anyone know how much the vet would charge just to remove the teeth without neutering?

Her teeth aren't through the gums very far so I can't tell.

I had my girl spayed on monday and her dental work was done . He teeth were awful the vet removed the four canines in front and the two in the front and bottom like the rabbit teeth i call em . i was charged about 70.00 . i found that to be reasonable . She cam home last night and is doing rather well.
