Puppy Teeth
Your puppy's permanent teeth, will start to come along right after all the first set of teeth are in. As the permanent teeth start to grow under the gum, they will actually push out and replace each of the first puppy teeth. Your puppy should be checked by your veterinarian at this time to make sure that all things are going well. Sometimes a first tooth will not come out when the permanent tooth tries to take it's place, which can cause problems. This can be irritating to a puppy or dog, whereas it can be sore to the gum, or worst yet an infection can occur in the so called area of your puppy's mouth. This can lead to a poor appetite, or restless sleep. An infection of this nature can also cause an upset stomach. Your Puppy's Teething Schedule First Set of Teeth
