Surely on more than one occasion you have tried to count the teeth you have, so I'm sure you're intrigued to know how many teeth your puppy has. Knowing how many teeth a dog has is very simple, since it depends on your age.

When a puppy is born, it has not teeth, it can not see or hear, it is simply guided by its instinct and smell to reach its mother's breast to feed itself. It is from the seventh or eighth week of life, when they get the first teeth we know how to milk teeth.

A puppy with all the teeth complete between twenty-eight and thirty-two milk teeth, depending on the breed. They are not the teeth with which you will remain the rest of your life, since these teeth only last a few months.

When the puppies reach six or seven months of age, they change their milk teeth for their final teeth. Much bigger and stronger, some teeth with which to eat almost any food including hard bones. An adult dog or puppy that has already changed its teeth for a definitive one, has a total of forty-two teeth in its mouth. Twenty on the top and twenty-two on the bottom.

The moment in which the milk teeth fall pushed by the end teeth is called teething period, it is a time when we have pain in their gums and probably want to bite everything, to calm their pain.

It is important to leave teethers (toys) at your disposal, as they will help a lot to calm the pain. It is highly recommended to begin to use teeth to brush teeth with a brush, since when you have the teeth you should be cleaned often and they are a little reluctant to fry them in the teeth.

The teeth of dogs are designed to eat meat, it is the teeth of a total carnivore. The fangs are used to grab their prey, the incisors to cut or grab next to the fangs. The molars and premolars of dogs are very sharp, also known as carnivorous teeth, because they can cut even the hardest bone.

Dogs can suffer the same diseases in their mouth and teeth as humans, tartar, gingivitis, cavities, infections... it is therefore important to have proper dental hygiene.
