Weeks 2 to 4: Your puppy will still be with their mother and breeder when their baby teeth start coming in. At this point, their eyes will have opened and they’ll still be nursing. Weeks 5...
Dogs use their two canine teeth, found on each side of the jaw (on the top and bottom), as pointed daggers to inflict stabbing and slashing wounds. Dogs have eight premolars in the upper jaw and another eight in the lower jaw. They also have four molars in the top and six in the bottom.
Birth – no teeth yet! 3 weeks – baby teeth begin to come through the jaw. 6 weeks – most of the baby teeth are through. 8 weeks – all of the baby teeth are through. 3 months – your puppy begins to absorb the roots of his baby teeth. 4 months – baby teeth begin to loosen and fall out.
Puppies begin teething at around three weeks, and by approximately six weeks, all their deciduous teeth will have erupted. The incisors (at the front of the mouth) and the canine teeth (the fangs) erupt first, followed by the premolars. Dogs do not have any baby molars.
Adult teeth will come in following the same order, with the addition of molars in the very back of the mouth. By 8 months old, puppies have full sets of 42 adult teeth, no matter if they’re a big or small breed dog.
While puppy teeth can begin to fall out (aka they start to lose their deciduous teeth) at 8 weeks of age, puppies typically begin to lose their teeth around 12-16 weeks, which is when their adult teeth—aka permanent teeth—begin to come in.
Puppies continue to lose baby teeth and erupt adult teeth until they’re about 6 months old. The incisors and canines erupt first, at around 3–5 months. The premolars follow when a puppy is 4–6 months old.
Come the age of 4-6 months, your fur baby will start getting their adult teeth. This is usually when you’ll notice some teeth falling out, making room for the big kid teeth to come in.
2-4 Weeks. Between 2-3 weeks old, a puppy’s razor-sharp baby teeth, also called milk teeth or deciduous teeth, start coming in. The first to emerge are the incisors (front teeth) and canines (fangs), followed by the premolars. Unlike humans, canines don’t grow any baby molars.
The answer is yes, puppies do lose their baby teeth as they go through the teething process. This typically occurs between the ages of three to seven months, with the incisors being the first to fall out followed by the canine teeth and premolars. The adult teeth then begin to emerge, replacing the baby teeth.
