Losing Baby Teeth NEW
by: Anonymous

Hi: My Coton began losing her baby teeth around six months old. It kind of freaked me out seeing teeth on the floor every day. Especially one time I found like a row of molar teeth it was a row of two. Then I saw the more incisor sharper and pointier teeth. She didn't swallow them but was trying to chew some of them up. I caught her chewing something and found a mouthful of teeth come out. I check her gums daily and I see new teeth popping up, her adult teeth. I don't let her chew on hard items like rawhide or anything like that. She does have a kong that she chews on but it is rubber like and not too hard. My vet said the harder items can break her teeth and cause issues, they can even break adult teeth. You just have to be careful. Like human teeth anything hard could shatter a tooth and cause real problems. I also brush her teeth every other day with a little tooth brush and tooth paste. I go easy because the gums are a bit sore from teething. Also dont give them ice cubes it can shatter teeth too. Crushed ice is ok because it melts fast. Don't give them sweet things I only give mine treats I home make or maybe a partial cooked baby carrot a little tiny piece of broccoli or one blueberry thats it. I don't give my Coton any processed treats it is all homemade. Its better for them and their dental health. I hope this info can help others. Enjoy your Coton they are lovely dogs!

Bijou had lost his teeth by 5 months. He just lost his first canine a couple days ago, he is 24 weeks old, and his second canine is loose. I was able to get 4 of his teeth, the others who knows, his belly or the vacuum cleaner. He isn't biting any where near as much as he use to. Yea!

Losing baby teeth NEW
by: Lulu

Socrates started to lose around 6 month old.
We will see your baby starts to more than usual. If I remember correctly, Socrates's teething was done when he was 8 month old. You will see his teeth around the house when you look carefully.
I kept some of Socrates's baby teeth.

Brushing teeth are never too early, I think. Better to start early then late even if it is for only ten second at a time.

Have fun with your baby.
