Why Bother with Those Baby Teeth?
Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:47:15 -0700
Just like us, our cats and dogs are born toothless. Within the next few weeks (here starts the difference from us) the deciduous (baby) teeth begin to erupt and are fully in place around 6 and 12 weeks in kittens and puppies, respectively. Over the next several months, the second set of teeth, their permanent or adult set, erupt. The baby teeth are supposed to fall out as the adult teeth come in. Often, owners find these teeth on the carpet or stuck in a toy or they are swallowed with no harm.
