Do puppies lose their K9 teeth (fangs)2007-11-25 3:01:11Answers:

Puppies have 28 deciduous , or baby teeth, and loose them all, just as children do. . I managed to find have four of my pup's baby teeth. Most of them get swallowed , and is perfectly normal. The dog won't be hurt by swallowing any of them.

Adult dogs have 42 teeth

Yes, and sometimes they bleed.

Yes..they are supposed to. They lose all of their baby teeth (starting with the incisors at about 3 months of age.)

The deciduous canines are usually pushed out by the permanent canines around 5 and 1/2 to 6 months of age (the permanent ones should be fully in and the deciduous ones gone by 6 months.)

Occasionally (frequently in small breeds), the deciduous canines fail to come out, however. That displaces the permanent ones as they come in, making a 'double' set. The upper perm. K9's come in in front of the deciduous ones..so when they fail to shed, they stay in place behind the permanent ones, causing those to come in too forward. The decid. K9 is the one behind the perm.K9.

The lower deciduous K9s push the permanent ones to the inside, which can cause even more of a problem.because that can cause the permanent ones to hit the upper palate when the dog tries to close its mouth. (Even to the point of poking holes..OUCH!) When both decid. and perm. K9s are present on the bottom, they are side-by-side, with the deciduous on the outside.
