| Please help !!!!! My 4 year old Toy Yorkie has 2 eye teeth on each side, one facing the front and one facing the rear. I think the rear ones are her baby teeth still after 4 years and me nor the vet has noticed.The back ones facing the rear are very loose. Will they fall out on there own ??? She doesnt seem to be in any pain.What should I do ???? |

| Take your baby to the vet. Redundant or retained baby teeth usually crowd the mouth and can help add to the dental disease problems Yorkies are known for. If you have a loose tooth tugging on the nerve as it moves and stretches the nerve and any infected surrounding tissue, it can hurt. I know my loose teeth usually hurt when I was a child and even now if I have one. Just because you have a canine who may not show pain due to stoicism doesn't mean they don't actually have pain. These teeth could abscess right through the gum if germs get in the loosened tissue and begin to fester. The vet will likely schedule a cleaning/extraction. It's pretty routine in Yorkies. Do you brush your Yorkie's teeth regularly?

| Sounds like a vet visit for possible removal of teeth is needed.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | My yorkie had that also, at first I thought they would naturally fall off, but eventually the vet made a good call to have them extracted to prevent plaque build up. My first yorkie had no problems with it, her teeth just fell out naturally. Just depends on genetics.
