i just noticed my dog still has a baby tooth. i brush my dogs teeth not every day but once in a while and i noticed a small tooth i thought all of them were already gone. his adult tooth is behind it and it looks fine and its in their good. do i need to take him to get it pulled? or is it ok to leave it?

You do need to take him to a vet and it does need to be pulled. Puppy teeth are not really 'made' to be permanent teeth, and as such they are at higher risk of rotting and causing bacterial infections.

Never trust a tall dwarf... he's lying about something.

Yep, I agree with Minniyar. My pug had a baby tooth pulled just a few weeks ago at the vet and she is almost 2 years old. I just never noticed it until that visit. It is really simple, they just go in with tweezers and give it a good yank. Your dog will probably not even notice a thing.

how do you tell the difference between adult and baby teeth? when can you expect baby teeth to start falling out?
