Hi,
My baby is 9 months..she will be 10 months in three weeks. Her tooth fail out is that normal ? Should we take her to the vet? She didn't cry she was chewing on her bear and jumped off the couch and I noticed her tooth. Please help

Baby teeth fall out and are replaced by adult teeth just like us.

If, by a certain time (your vet will tell you when), they don't come out they need to be pulled or bacteria gets stuck between the baby and adult teeth. There can also be crowding issues, etc. Removal of retained teeth can be done at the time of spay/neuter in most cases.

Thank you I was worried that something was wrong. She is my first yorkie and I want to make sure I'm taking care of her properly!

Hi. It's perfectly normal.

How often should I brush her teeth? How often should I take her to get them cleaned? I know yorkies have issues with their teeth. I just want to stay on top of it. I give her a dentastix once a day and I've been trying to wipe her teeth with the dental wipes.
