Baby Teeth in Dogs Still In?

My Boston Terrier, Oreo, just turned 1 on last August. We noticed that she still has 4 front baby teeth on the bottom, and 4 front baby teeth on the top. We think her permanent teeth had never came in.





My other previous two BTs, Tobi and Pepper, both had all permanent teeth (Pepper had beautiful teeth) that came in. Oreo%26#039;s the only one who still has baby teeth at her age......they all look white and clean looking....she looks cute in them though. LOL





Is Oreo%26#039;s teeth similiar to some humans who had a couple of baby teeth that never came out (no permanent teeth had created)? I am one of those people, and I have a fixed bridge made when I was 18, and I still have it today (in my 30s).





Is this common in dogs?

any deciduous (baby) teeth that are still there after 7 months need to be removed! It can cause serious issues with her permanent teeth!! call the vet and get it scheduled! (it will require anesthetic!)

Reply:With dogs, some teeth do not come in but with pups , as in min-pins, boston terriers and chicuauas, etc they some times need a vet to pull the baby teeth so the permanent teeth will come through! Just check with the vet or look at hers with a flashlight to see if any white pockets above the gum line they may mean the adult teeth are there but the baby teeth are hindering them!
Reply:It is common for small dogs to sometimes have to have thier baby teeth pulled. So I wouldnt worry to much and just take him to the vet and they can fix him right up.
