| It looks like her baby teeth haven't fallen out yet. I would make an appt. at the vet so that he/she can take a look and take out the baby teeth before they start to cause a problem.

| That's normal. Most of Loki's fell out and 3 were pulled when he was neutered at 6 months. Typically they will pull any leftover baby teeth at their spay/neuter if you ask them to.

| Yes those baby teeth need to come out. Sometimes they don't fall out on their own.

| All of the Yorkies that I have owned needed retained baby teeth removed. I think it is common for the breed. After the removal they were given soft foods for a few days and then they were back to normal.

| Those aren't going to fall out on their own at this point. When the adult tooth starts to erupt, it should push the baby tooth out. Its very common for Yorkies to have retained baby teeth that have to pulled.

| Yep his adult teeth have come in before the baby ones have fallen out, some may fall out on their own but a whatever is left will have to be removed when he is neutered. |

| I'd definetly have the vet look at them. They may ruin his adult teeth. Then you'll land up having to buy doggie dentures.

| Vet must see! Hello there. My baby girl just had to have her baby teeth removed. Destiny is nine months old. The adult ones came-in without pushing the baby ones out. Keep in mind there may be more towards the back of her mouth that you cannot see. Hence we weren't surprised when the vet said she pulled 13 baby teeth! Eeeeek! We knew she looked like jaws, but 13?? Wow! So just keep an eye out and I would def have your baby checked by vet! Good luck!
