🦷 Baby Teeth Aren’t Just for Humans! 🐾
Did you know pets have baby teeth too? These are called deciduous teeth, and just like in humans, they eventually fall out to make way for adult teeth.
Puppies and kittens typically start losing their baby teeth around 3–6 months of age. Sometimes, though, a baby tooth doesn’t fall out on its own — we call this a retained deciduous tooth, and it can cause crowding, discomfort or damage to your pets mouth.
If you notice extra or misaligned teeth in your growing or adult pet, bring them in for a checkup. A quick dental check can prevent bigger problems down the line! 😁🩺
