Loose Teeth in Dogs

Dr. Lera talks about loose/wobbly teeth with Gypsy, a seven-year-old Yorkie.

Just like us, dogs have two sets of teeth in their lifetime. The first set (the baby teeth) start to fall out at around four months old, after that, their permanent adult teeth will be held securely in their sockets. Wobbly/Loose teeth can be tricky to notice if your dog won’t allow you to look in their mouth. Adult dogs shouldn’t have wobbly teeth, if you notice any, it’s a sign something is wrong.. Puppies start losing their baby teeth at around four months old when they are replaced by adult teeth. Wobbly teeth can be very painful, especially when eating. Wobbly teeth usually need removing by a vet under anaesthetic. Book your dog in for a check-up if you notice they have loose or wobbly teeth. (source: www.pdsa.org.uk)
