Introduction

Puppies are the cutest little creatures, and they have all the fun of being a puppy. They have no cares in the world, which is why it’s so important to take care of their teeth. The best way to do that is by scheduling regular cleanings with your veterinarian or local pet dentist. Here are five things you didn’t know about your puppy’s mouth:

Puppies have a combination of baby and adult teeth

Puppy teeth are something you should be aware of when you’re caring for your puppy. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and they play an important role in the development of your dog throughout its life.

• Puppies have a combination of baby and adult teeth

Baby teeth are called deciduous teeth; these grow in early on and then fall out when permanent teeth begin to emerge. Adult dogs have 42 permanent teeth (28 upper and 14 lower). The exact age at which each tooth will appear varies from breed to breed but usually begins around 5 months old with the first incisors (front four), followed by premolars (back six), molars (back four) and canines (front four).

• Baby or deciduous? You decide!

Puppies use their sharp pointed baby teeth during teething; they chew on things like toys or food bowls until their new adult ones eventually come out!

Your puppies baby teeth are sharp

The obvious first thing to know about your puppy’s teeth is that they’re sharp. Not as sharp as an adult dog’s, but still plenty sharp enough to tear through skin and gums with ease. It’s important to be careful around your puppy’s mouth because of this. However, you should also be aware that puppies have a small set of teeth in their upper jaw called “milk teeth” which are even sharper than the baby teeth. These milk teeth can cause damage if they touch you or another animal while playing so it’s best not to let them get too rough with each other during play time until those milk teeth have fallen out around six months old!

Once they’ve fallen out though, the adult canine (or permanent) dentition starts coming in and has two sets: The premolars and molars on top — these are used for grinding food down into smaller pieces before swallowing; then bottom row consisting of incisors for biting into something hard like meat or bone (or a chew toy ;)).

Puppies can get cavities too

Puppies can get cavities too! It’s true. Bacteria that live in the mouth and on the tongue secrete acid when they metabolize food. This causes the pH level to drop, which leads to tooth decay. The best way to prevent this from happening is regular brushing with a dog toothbrush and canine-friendly toothpaste (which you can find at your local pet store). If you don’t want to brush your puppy’s teeth yourself, make sure you take him or her in for professional cleaning every 3-6 months.

Baby teeth are just as susceptible as adult ones when it comes to cavities! That’s right—your little pup might develop them before he or she even hits puberty! But don’t worry: puppies can still enjoy their treats like popcorn kernels and rawhide chews without causing damage by following these simple guidelines:

Your puppy might need dental care

You will want to check your puppy’s teeth regularly for signs of dental disease. Signs can include:

• Bad breath
• Drooling or excess salivation
• Sore gums and redness around the mouth

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important that you take your puppy to the vet as soon as possible. There is a wide range of treatment options available for dental disease in dogs, including tooth extractions, root canal therapy, gum surgery, and more. Taking care of your dog’s teeth will help them stay healthy throughout their life.

Your puppy will lose their baby teeth as they get older

If you’re a new dog owner, there are things to know about puppy teeth. When your puppy is very young and just starting to grow, they have baby teeth. Just like a human baby, these teeth will fall out as your puppy gets older and grows their adult teeth. The order in which puppies lose their baby teeth is important to know so that you can be on the lookout for when those first set of adult incisors come in!

First up are the upper central incisors (the two front middle ones). They usually start falling out around 5-8 months old but depending on breed size or other factors, this can vary slightly. The lower central incisors will follow shortly after at 9-10 months old again depending on breed size or other factors. Next up are the upper lateral incisors (the two side middle ones) at 11-15 months old while lower lateral incisors take place next at 16-18 months old again depending on breed size or other factors; just like with upper central and lower centrals! Finally comes canine tooth replacement which happens sometime between 19-22 months old again depending on breed size or other factors; just like with upper lateral/lower lateral pairings!

The best way to take care of your puppy’s mouth is routine oral examinations and regular cleanings.

Your puppy’s mouth is one of his most important organs, but it can be very easy to neglect.

Puppies’ teeth are small and delicate, so it’s best to keep them clean. If you don’t take care of your puppy’s mouth, he could suffer from serious issues such as tooth decay (also known as dental caries) or gum disease. Both of these problems can lead to pain and discomfort for your pup. It’s important that you brush his teeth at least once a week, but daily brushing is even better! You should also schedule dental checkups every six months with your veterinarian—this will ensure that your pup gets regular cleanings while he still has all of his baby teeth in place.

Conclusion

Puppies are a joy to have around the house, but they can also be a lot of work. You need to make sure that they get regular checkups with their veterinarian so that any dental problems can be diagnosed and treated early on before they become serious.
