Tooth growth cycle:

Around 20 days: teeth begin to grow

4 to 6 weeks old: the deciduous incisors are all in length

Nearly 2 months old: all deciduous teeth are fully grown, white, thin and pointed

2 to 4 months old: replace the first deciduous incisor

5 to 6 months old: Replace the second and third deciduous incisors and deciduous canines

After 8 months of age: All permanent teeth are replaced, but it is not ruled out that some dogs will be later, and there are even cases where the replacement is completed after the age of 2 years old

1 year old: The dog’s permanent teeth are all long, white and bright

Precautions for tooth replacement:

1. Calcium supplement: Calcium is an important component of bones and teeth. It is also involved in many physiological functions and plays a vital role in the function of the immune system and neuromuscular system. However, excessive calcium may cause the deciduous teeth to not fall out and form double rows. Teeth, so it is more necessary to replenish calcium reasonably during the tooth replacement period.

2. Teeth grinding: It is the dog’s nature to bite. During the tooth replacement period, the dog will be irritable due to swelling and pain in the gums. In order to alleviate the discomfort, you can prepare some molar bones, which not only relieve anxiety but also clean the teeth.

3. Oral hygiene: During the teething period, deciduous teeth coexist with permanent teeth, so you need to pay more attention to oral hygiene. You can use mouthwash for dogs to remove oral bacteria while reducing the formation of calculus and plaque, and also to prevent bad breath.
