[Ginnie Lou]

Abby Rose is 8 months old and she has all her adult teeth in but her baby teeth are still there also, my Vet charges 50-100 per tooth removal, yikes its gonna cost me a fortune!! can anyone tell me if these teeth will eventally fall out on thier own?
Too many teeth!!!

I am a crazy yorkie mom, i saved all Ella's baby teeth except 2. She must have swallowed them, she's fine though. This was at least 8 months ago though. So yes, they will fall out on their own. =]

[Lienkie]

lol I am sitting with the same problem. Lienkie has two sets of teeth and she is 7 months now. I got a few that has fallen out and the rest well she must have swallowed those or they are in the vacuum cleaner somewhere. I think we must just be patient and let nature takes its coarse. They will fall out sooner or later. Looks funny though. If they are still there at a year i will take Lienkie in to have them removed.

I wanted to wait to spay Apple at 18 months, but she still had her two top canine baby teeth alongside the adult teeth, so I had her spayed at 12 months, so I could have those teeth out...The vet said the roots were so deep, on the baby canines, she doubted they'd ever come out on their own....But get this!!! I just noticed she was missing a botton front tooth, and thought she'd lost an adult tooth, and was soooooo upset...Come to find out, it was a baby tooth, and the one beside it, that hasn't come out is also a baby tooth...She's 15 months old...I guess the vet just didn't look to see if she had anymore baby tooth and thought those two bottom front teeth were adult teeth ...On the other hand, my little boy, Buzz, from a different litter seems to have all his adult teeth already??? You just never know about these little york'sters lol....

Baby teeth do not always fall out on their own and can cause issues. Give her lots to chew on and maybe they will...if not, then you really should have them removed by your vet.
Vets should not charge a lot for these teeth unless they are really difficult to remove. I believe the canines are the ones that sometimes take a bit more time. Most baby teeth almost fall out during dentals.

I didn't realize this was such a common problem. My Mylee is a little over four months and she is showing signs of retaining her baby teeth as well. Only she has two that never errupted so she will have to have x-rays and those, if there, will have to be surgically removed. I spoke with my vet yesterday and the plan is to hold off on spaying her until she is six or seven months old. At that time they will remove any baby teeth that did not fall out. So, if your puppy is seven or eight months old, and they still have some baby teeth, they may need help coming out!

Yorkies commonly retain their baby teeth and it is important to have them removed. If your baby hasn't been fixed then it would be ideal to have the teeth removed at the same time of her spay, that way she wouldn't have to go under anesthesia again.

Nick had to have three teeth pulled when he got fixed. That is WAY too much to charge for pulling teeth! I only had to pay $23 extra for Nick to have all three extracted. I was just going to leave them in but the vet pointed out there was tarter buildup between the extra teeth so we went ahead and had them pulled. Nick was right at 12 months when he was neutered. If they don't fall out, I would get them pulled.

I would give it some time. Zeus had some retained teeth and they eventually fell out. He has one canine that is still there and I wiggle it often.

How many teeth in total did you save? I am trying to figure out how many baby teeth they have in total?
So far I got 3, which I also saved... How many more to go?

My girl was spay at 7 mos, she too had 13 baby teeth taken out. The vet had suggested on these little ones you can hold off closer to 9 mos before spaying, however, all those teeth were causing problem, she stopped chewing right and I could tell she was feeling good. Called my vet, he said to bring her in, those need out...the pressure is unreal for them and it will cause damage to the alignment of her adult teeth. I only paid $3.00 per tooth with her spay and hernia repair.
She was a year old on the 25th, took her in for her 1st teeth cleaning, when vet was in there, he found to baby teeth, one on each side in the back, that had stopped to molers from coming in.
That was on Monday and the difference in her eating is amazing!! She has never crunched dry kibble, I have always had to mix it with a little wet to get her to eat it. She crunches her dry like a mad girl now...I can here crunching dry kibble all the way in my kitchen. LOL. She is loving life...I think we must have them all out now. All 15 teeth...wow.

All furbabies are different....some fall out before others....some take a little longer. Ask your vet to guide you as to what you should do.
