Dogs, like most mammals with the exception of humans and most great apes, will continue to lose and develop new teeth through-out their entire life. This process generally starts at the age of about 3 months for most canines, and continues at rates varying from 3 to 9 months for the rest of the duration of the dog's life. This point on canine physiology explains why it's so difficult to get Fido to quit chewing on whatever isn't nailed down.
It's vitally important that dogs are always allowed something to chew on, because of this. Chewing helps the dog to break away old teeth so that the new teeth may erupt naturally. If a dog is denied the ability to "chew away" it's old teeth, the new teeth may erupt at odd angles. Extreme occurances of this have lead to dogs with teeth literally erupting all over their jaw.

One way to tell the approximate age of a border collie is by their teeth. If they have all their adult teeth and the teeth are bright white, the dog is probably approximately one to two years old. As a dog ages, their teeth become stained and worn. It is an estimate on the age of a dog because a dog who aggressively chews may have worn down teeth when only a couple of years old.
