Teeth!! - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Ok guys need more advice. Today daisy had all her top and bottom teeth. She has been tugging constantly on things all day. She pulled on our tablecloth and got caught on it. Now two of her bottom teeth are missing!! She let go before I could lift her and realise the table cloth from her. She didn't really cry in pain and her gums seem swollen. Would this be simply a case of her baby teeth falling out or has she lost two adult teeth. I haw only noticed this now as I was brushing her teeth. I feel awful and hope I haven't caused her to loose adult teeth because I was not focusing on her for a couple of minutes

How old is she? Leila will be 5 months tomorrow and has lost a few baby teeth this week. She been gnawing and tugging on things more than usual. Maybe this is their way of getting them out.

She's just over 5 months she is 6 months on st Stephens day. You can see the little home where they came out. I just hope it wasn't adult tooth. She's been getting adult teeth for ages so i just thought all her baby teeth were gone at front of her mouth as all her big molars etc have been coming down. She's been whinging on and of all day

**WeeGrace** · 12-07-2012, 06:15 PM

Oh pam I hope so. Really worried

**Grace'sMom** · 12-07-2012, 06:31 PM

Ah... I bet they were baby teeth. Might take a few days to see any adult ones coming up.

Grace was playing with Gus one day... He tugged a toy and when she ran over to her all her top and bottom teeth were gone!!

I freaked out for a moment just because it looked so wrong LOL But she was okay

And her teeth came in within about a week and a half.

It's been years since I've had a puppy until now, so I really don't remember but maybe she'd only lost her top baby teeth and is now losing the bottom ones. The ones Leila has just lost were the top ones. We were at the vet last week and he chuckled and said, "look at this. All her top teeth are loose and she will be losing them in the next week." Sure enough, he was right. Can you run her by the vet to make sure if someone who is more knowledgeable doesn't come along soon?

Yeah I'll take her first thig in the morning it's 11.30pm with me so ill go in first thing. Tori that such good news hopefully it is that. She looks like a little 7year old the right tooth and left tooth gone with just the one in middle she's all gummy

I bet they were baby teeth

When Milo was 7 months old he lost a tooth and I was so upset because I thought it was an adult one - but it was just a baby tooth.

I am sure they were baby teeth. I wouldn't worry about it. I really believe they were not adult teeth.

**WeeGrace** · 12-07-2012, 06:58 PM

Thanks everyone for reassurance hopefully they were. She is sleepy now and her gums are swollen so hopefully these are baby teeth and adult ones are coming up!! Shock just thought she had lost them all
