Dogs have two sets of teeth: puppy and adult. They start loosing their puppy teeth usually at around 3 months and finish losing them by five or six months, at which time they have all been replaced by adult teeth.

Why do you have 2 sets of teeth?

Humans have two sets of teeth because our primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, help us chew and speak as infants and children. As we grow, these teeth fall out to make way for permanent teeth, which are larger, stronger, and better suited for adult functions. This dual-set system allows for proper development and maintenance of our teeth throughout life.


What is the difference between primary and secondary teeth, and how do they play different roles in oral health?

Primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, are the first set of teeth that children develop and eventually lose. They are smaller in size and serve as placeholders for the permanent teeth. Secondary teeth, or permanent teeth, are larger and meant to last a lifetime. Primary teeth help with chewing, speaking, and maintaining proper alignment for the permanent teeth. Secondary teeth are essential for proper chewing, speaking, and maintaining overall oral health.


Why do humans have two sets of teeth?

1. A child's jaw is smaller and requires smaller teeth. That's why when we are born and we start growing out teeth, those teeth are temporary and fall out later on. 2. People needed their teeth to live. Having two sets of teeth (and periodically growing more teeth, like molars and wisdom teeth) meant that even if the front teeth rotted away, the person would still be able to eat. Dentistry hasn't been around anywhere near as long as humans have.
