You cannot extract dog deciduous teeth by yourself, because tooth extraction requires strict disinfection to prevent the dog from getting infected by bacteria. Professional anesthesia is also required when a dog's tooth is extracted, because the dog will be very painful when the tooth is extracted, and the owner may be hurt due to excessive pain, so the tooth cannot be extracted by oneself. Be sure to go to a pet hospital and let a professional pet doctor extract the dog's teeth. At the same time, owners can also use other methods to help the dog's deciduous teeth fall out.

Methods to help dogs change their teeth

1. During the period when the dog changes its deciduous teeth, the owner can observe the dog’s tooth change. If the tooth replacement rate is slow, the owner can massage the dog's deciduous teeth every day. After a period of time, the dog's deciduous teeth will loosen and fall off.

2. Owners can supplement their dogs with calcium. If their dogs are deficient in calcium, their permanent teeth will grow slowly, making it very difficult to replace teeth. During the period when the dog's teeth are changing, the owner can feed the dog calcium powder, or liquid calcium, etc. to supplement the calcium, so that the dog can change teeth normally.

3. Owners can buy some chewing toys for their dogs to loosen their deciduous teeth while playing. Owners can also play interactive chew toys with their dogs, such as dog chew ropes, but they must pay attention to prevent the dog's teeth from breaking.
