The deciduous teeth of the dog before the replacement are small and thin, but very Sharp, which is why a puppy bites a person more easily. Adult teeth are larger and thicker than deciduous teeth, white in color, closely spaced incisors, and rounded at the tips than deciduous teeth.

Adult dogs (permanent teeth) have 42 teeth in total: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.

The puppy teeth are: incisors, canines, and premolars, with a total of 28 teeth. One premolar and molar is missing.

The canine teeth are all short crown-shaped, the first and second incisors of the upper jaw are three-peaked, the middle is canine peak, and there are small peaks on both sides, and the other incisors have two canine peaks each , Canines dry curved conical, sharp tip, is a powerful weapon for offense and self-defense. The teeth of the previous day are three-shaped. The sun teeth are multimodal.

Be prepared in advance: As a parent, I know that there is still a possibility of tooth replacement in dogs. After the problem, after three months, it is necessary to take precautions in advance if the dog bites something particularly serious. Shoes, foot pads and other things that are easy to come into contact with and have a good taste should be put away as much as possible. Although the furniture that cannot be gnawed cannot be put away, as soon as you see a dog chewing on the furniture, you must stop it in time. Consider temporarily closing it in a smaller space, such as a separate room with less furniture, or in a cage when no one is at home. In addition, wires, power supplies, detergents, and other things that may cause harm to dogs must find a way to keep them out of reach, because dogs in this period are biting maniacs, and I myself have entered the house once. The door found that each of the four pairs of shoes had been gnawed on each other. Alas, it's useless to blame it. I can only blame myself for underestimating the destructiveness of the dog's teeth replacement.

Reduce the pain of teething:

It also hurts when your dog changes teeth, so you can also find ways to relieve the pain of teething . Some people say that you can let the dog bite ice cubes, but I personally think that if it is not a big summer, it is not suitable for puppies in this period to bite ice cubes, and it is too easy to cause diarrhea. But it's a good idea to freeze a wet towel and then bite the dog. It can let him enjoy the cold, itching and pain relief without causing him to eat too much ice. You can try it.

When a dog is changing teeth, it is normal that the lost teeth cannot be found. It's very likely that it ate it mixed with food, or it may have fallen somewhere, so don't worry about that. What you need to do is to observe the growth of the new teeth every day. Sometimes the new teeth grow a lot, and the old teeth do not fall out. If it takes a long time, it is easy to cause the wrong position of the new teeth and some problems of the gums. If it has an old tooth, it will never fall out. For a good dog, you can try shaking the old tooth with your hand at home to help it fall out. If it does not work, just go to the doctor for help. They have special pliers. Tooth extraction can be done easily and cheaply.

Pay attention to calcium supplementation: Just like people, you need to pay attention to calcium supplementation when changing teeth. Only in this way can the dog have beautiful and strong permanent teeth!

When the dog grows to 4~5 months, the small milk teeth will slowly fall off, and the new permanent teeth will also fall off. About to come out, these little guys will get a little irritable because of the sore gums when they are teething. They both love to nibble to relieve their discomfort and help their new teeth grow into their gums, so don't be too surprised if you come home and see a mess. However, it can't be tolerated blindly, it will make it feel that it is the right thing to eat, and it is no big deal.

First of all, you can prepare some pets special toys for it, so that it can play with it, and it is also very important to have clear rewards and punishments, if you see it is eating or not. If you need to eat something, you should stop it immediately and say NO or no to it sternly. On the contrary, if you see it obediently playing with its own toys, please give it praise and encouragement, so that it will gradually develop a good habit of not nibbling on things.

Secondly, the owner can let the puppy eat some small ice cubes during the tooth change. Otherwise, these things have a crispy taste, and they can also feel the numbness of the gums due to the cold feeling of anesthesia. If your puppy has a weak stomach and can't adapt to such irritating things, you can also use a wet towel with a knot at the end, put it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and take it out for the dog to bite after it freezes. .

In addition, it is also a good way to prepare some delicious high-quality dog chews for dogs. These bone glue and meat skin are made with just the right hardness and good taste. Dogs will soon eat furniture. Focus on nibbling on dog chews.

Precautions

Dogs are very curious, and their curiosity is even more prominent during the grinding period. Power cords, preferably tape them to the floor, and be sure to keep the kitchen and bathroom doors secure, keeping all chemical cleaners out of the dog's reach.
