Best Answer

My puppy chipped off the tip of one of his canine (long front) teeth. When I took him in for his shots and pointed out the tooth, the vet said this: "It's okay, because he will lose that baby tooth and an adult tooth will come in, just like humans do. It is very common for puppies to bite on something too hard and chip a tooth."

You should talk with your veterinarian - there are veterinary dentists that can repair the tooth and prevent the tooth from becoming infected or causing other problems.

I would pay a visit to my vet. Sometimes a dog losing its teeth is normal, but most of the time it is either tooth decay or gum disease. Either way, I'd take it in to get checked.

when they are puppies, they do fall out because they are getting their adult teeth. when they get really really old they start losing their teeth. one of my friend's dog, a chihuahua he's about 10 years old (human years) right now and he has no teeth so they give him wet dog food, or put water in his kibbles and bits and microwaves it so its squishy.


When do people stop losing their teeth?

Answer A:You can loose your teeh as early as 5 and as late as 8 years old. It depends on your body and when you first started to grow your baby teeth. Some babies start growing there baby teeth as late as 1 years old and as early as 4 months. They say that your teeth will last longer if you grew your baby teeth late.Answer B:It depends on when you START loosing your teeth. For example, I began losing my teeth in the first grade, and I am still losing teeth, in Grade 6. You should probably start losing your teeth around the ages of 5 - 8, and stop losing your teeth in the ages of 10 - 13.Calculate the time when you, your child, or whoever started losing their teeth, then add about 5 to that number. That SHOULD be the approximate age of the end of tooth losing.

What is the meaning of teeth?

In dreams, teeth generally represent your effectiveness or power. Compare the symbolism of teeth in a dream to common expressions such as "a toothless lion," or "that dog is all bark and no bite." Losing teeth in a dream might represent a loss of power or prestige, while growing huge teeth in a dream might suggest more power than you can manage.
