My puppy's adult teeth are growing in, but his puppy teeth haven't fallen out yet.. Should I be worried?

My puppy is about 5 months old and his canine teeth are coming in. However, his puppy canine teeth are still in also. Do I need to take him to the vet to have them removed, or will they just fall out in time?

My puppy%26#039;s adult teeth are growing in, but his puppy teeth haven%26#039;t fallen out yet.. Should I be worried?
As someone that works as an assistant at a vet clinic, puppy teeth usually fall out on their own. Dogs are like humans, no two dogs follow the same maturing process, just like kids. Some specific breeds of dogs have worse dental problems than others. The best thing to do is if you are worried, is to take him to the vet and have them looked at. At all worst, you may get charged an office visit. If you can not afford it at this time, keep a close eye on them. Check for loose ones. Sometimes they fall out and you don%26#039;t even know it. Make sure that he has plenty of chew toys. If it starts to look like the teeth are crowding or there is discoloration in the gums or bleeding, take him to the vet as soon as possible.
Reply:They will fall out by themselves. dun worry, be happy! Let nature take its place!Have fun .
Reply:I would take the puppy to your vet. My pom had the same problem and the vet removed the baby teeth.


I had it done when she was spade, while she was asleep they took them out
Reply:Its ok, the puppy teeths will fall out as the adult teeth replaced it. I asked the same question to my vet,when my dog was teething.
Reply:When he goes in to be neutered (in the next 4 weeks, prior to maturity), the vet can have a look and if they are still there, they can take any remaining baby teeth out during his surgery. This will save you money on anesthesia and pain meds.





But yes, they do need to come out.
Reply:if you are very concerened you should take him to the vet to make sure his teeth are fine. His other teeth will probably fall out soon though
Reply:wiggle the baby teeth to help them along
Reply:This does sound unusual, I would call and ask my vet, then go by what he or she says.
Reply:They will probably fall out on their own. Certain breeds like Yorkies can often have more of a problem with this, but it%26#039;s not a big deal. If they don%26#039;t come out by the time the new ones are fully in, then I would take him in. I discovered my puppy had 2 full rows of teeth one day and 2 days later they were all gone. make sure he has plenty of good chew toys to help lodge them out!
Reply:only worry if its bothering him.go to a vet and ask what to do about it....the most important thing is about how your dog feels.
Reply:As the new ones come in under the puppy teeth, they will push the puppy teeth out. If you start to notice things like the puppy and adult tooth in a double row, then take the dog to the vet because it will probably need to have puppy teeth pulled.





Expect to find lots of puppy teeth where you would least expect them in the next month!
Reply:The puppy teeth will fall out naturally.
Reply:If they don%26#039;t fall out within the next month or so take him in and see what the vet says.They won%26#039;t hurt him for now and it is not unusual at all.
Reply:No, don%26#039;t worry. That%26#039;s perfectly normal. As their adult teeth come in, they will lose their baby teeth. It may take a little while, but it will take care of itself.
Reply:You should probably have the vet look at the teeth. He/she could tell you if the baby teeth need to be pulled. It happens sometimes, usually with smaller breeds, where the baby teeth just don%26#039;t fall out and it becomes necessary for them to be pulled.
