I got her from the Humane Society a month ago, she is 3-4 year old Corgie. My vet is more concerned with keeping the teeth, than what will happen when they are gone. When I got her she was an abused dog and was missing a lot of teeth and had extremely infected gums. They since have been cleaned and she is a regular at the vet. I just want to know if she can live a full life with out her teeth. She is a very sweet girl.
My dog is losing her teeth. Can she survive without her teeth?
I work at a vet clinic, we see quite a few dogs who lost most of there teeth. We have a yorkie who only has ONE tooth, and a few more who have NO teeth! They do fine! They eat soft food, and their tongue hangs out of their mouth, but I think that is cute. I think your vet is more concerned with the overall health of your dog's mouth, more than keeping her teeth. Infection in the mouth travels through the body and can have a negative impact on other body systems. And in the process of keeping her mouth healthy, I'm sure your vet sees keeping the teeth as an added bonus. Good Luck with your dog! I'm sure she will be fine whether she keeps her teeth, or loses her teeth. And thanks for choosing to rescue!!!
Reply:Your vet should have more information about that for you and will probably go over things in detail with you when it's time for the extractions. Poor thing - only 3 or 4 years old and already her teeth are gone? That's terrible. Good for you for rescuing her!
Reply:She will have to eat the soft food like beniful soups wich are geeat for dogs!
Reply:I am so sorry to hear about this. That poor dog. I am not sure that your dog will live a life eating dry dog food. There is other stuff that you add water to and mix it up that stuff is not dry and is way easier to eat. But Im not sure if the dog can with no teeth. I hope she can. Again I am very sorry!
Reply:She will live. She will have to start eating pure soft/canned food though. She'll be fine. Just make sure not to treat her any different! Good luck and I hope she's ok!
Reply:Sure she can! She will need soft food, but that's about it. Your vet wants to keep as many teeth as possible since she is so young.
Reply:Dogs do very well when they've had their teeth removed (usually due to advanced dental disease). They don't have the hangups people do about such things. Many will go on to eat their usual dry (some are downright stubborn about that) but you can always moisten their dry food at first, or use canned food, depending on how the dog does.
Having no teeth is MUCH healthier than having a mouth of diseased gums and teeth.
Reply:I looked after a 12 year old greyhound without a tooth in his head. He most definitely did not have to eat canned dog food. He ate the same dry food mine did - only his had some tuna or salmon, or some type of canned meat added in. He had no trouble at all eating - he was just a bit messy.
Don't worry - your poor girl will be just fine if she needs to go through the rest of her life without teeth - you'll be feeding her much healthier food than she was eating before you got her!
Reply:if a person had no teeth and were put on a liquid diet they would get thin (have you heard of Oprah's liquid diet to lose weight?). Dentists take the time to get seniors dentures, so that must tell you something. Yes, definitely the vet would be trying to save your dog's teeth and even might suggest some implants so your dog could chew. Ever see the ugliest dog on the world on tv? Well that dog's tongue hangs out all the time because it has no lower teeth. I suggest you talk with the vet and if you love your pet then try to figure out a way that she will be able to chew.
Reply:Get the book written by this vet, dr. pitcairn, he explains in it how dental disease is out of control in dogs because of the commercial pet foods on the market, premium brands as well. Dry food is the worst culprit.
I listed his website below.
http://www.drpitcairn.com
Edit: After reading some of the posts, DO NOT wet dry food, it causes rapid bacterial growth on the food and the food only needs very little bacteria on it to start with.
Beniful soups are not good for any dog, no commercial pet food is. Start researching and you'll see what I mean.
Another good forum board for answers is http://www.itchmo.com
Reply:Yes, she can live a full life without her teeth! Many eat the dry stuff without chewing it, my dog surely can't be bothered to chew and she has all her teeth. My ancient sheltie who lived to be 17 had no back teeth and ate hard stuff just fine, had never had soft stuff and was afraid of it. She was toothless for about 5 years. You can try canned or soften up the dry with broth or water, but she will probably just be happy to have a nice home and doesn't even think about her teeth unless they hurt.
Reply:Sure she can live with out her teeth, but i bet it would b a lot of work. Cuz u would hav 2 smash her food up nd make soft smushy food for her 2 swallow nd not hurt her gums. But dont worry so much i think she will b fine jus take it step after step
Reply:There are canned soft foods for dogs out there. I adopted a mut that was 2 years old. Her previous owner let her play with rocks. Het teeth are worn down. Poor girl. Anywho....sof tfood is no problem for her and I would bet that it would be no problem for a dog without teeth. Rest assured you girl will have no problem eating canned food. If you are still worried, simply call your vet and ask...Good Luck...
Reply:Yes, she can. And if she has a lot of infection the very best choice is to remove the teeth. It is better to not have teeth rather than have infected teeth that could hurt her heart. She will just have to eat ground foods and soft foods. She will live without teeth, but if an infection spreads to her heart valves from her mouth, she could die. If your vet is more concerned with repeated dental visits rather than repeated infections you should seek another opinion. The real cause of his concern could be his pocket book not your dog's health. I would have my vet remove the teeth right away and just feed the dog soft foods.

What happens if your child grows new teeth before losing their baby teeth?
about 6 weeks ago, my sons, two middle, bottom adult teeth appeared but he is yet to lose his baby teeth!they are vaguley beginning to wobble but i am worried he ight end up getting crooked teeth.it is causing him no pain at present.
What happens if your child grows new teeth before losing their baby teeth?
This is actually pretty common in the pediatric patient population. In my practice we tend to give it a little while and see if the tongue pushes the adult teeth forward which will loosen the baby teeth. If they don't ever get loose enough to come out on their own we will extract them. The trick is keeping them clean, lots of brushing so the gums don't get very irritated. Chewy foods and lots of wiggling those teeth for your son to do.
Good luck!

Reply:That happened to me. You need to rip the baby teeth out now, or get a dentist to do it. ;)
Reply:We used to just wait for the adult tooth to push the baby tooth out, but now a days dentists will pull them to make room for the new tooth. I guess it depends on if you have ins. or can afford a dentist.
Reply:Same thing happened to me when I was younger. You should have the dentist pull the baby teeth out or the adult teeth could grow over them and look like fangs. This could cost you a pretty penny later on when you have to get your child braces when he is old enough. Hope this helps..

When does a puppy start losing puppy teeth?
My lab puppy is 4 months old and he lost a tooth in the front. It looks fine, I'm just wondering if this is about the right age for it to happen. Also, how fast will the new tooth come in, and how will it be different from the puppy tooth?
When does a puppy start losing puppy teeth?
Around 4 to 5 months of age, puppies will start to get their permanent teeth.He is going to need to chew a lot right now. His gums will be irritating him because he is cutting his adult teeth. Something that I find eases their discomfort and guides their chewing to allowed items is to buy one of the rope toys with the knots in each end. Be sure to get a larger one for your Lab. Soak the rope in chicken broth (you can buy it by the can or carton at the grocery store) until it has absorbed lots of the broth, then freeze it. Give it to your pup and the fact that it is frozen will ease the pain in his gums and the chicken broth will encourage him to chew it. Works great!
Puppies lose their teeth in a distinct pattern: first the small front teeth come out. Then the premolars just behind the canines. Then the molars in the back come out (and you'll see adult molars behind those erupting as well). Finally the canine teeth come out. Sometimes the adult canines erupt before the baby canines have come all the way out
Reply:Dogs lose puppy teeth the same way you lost baby teeth. It happens at 3-6 mos, and the new ones will come in pretty quickly. The only difference is they are bigger and stronger.
Reply:4-6 months is when they get their adult teeth. he's fine
Reply:Four to five months is the average time. So, your pup is right on time. He is going to need to chew a lot right now. His gums will be irritating him because he is cutting his adult teeth.

Reply:They start losing their teeth around 4 months of age. Chances are you'll never find a tooth, they tend to swallow them. Give her lots of things to chew on. Frozen kongs, ice cubes, those rope toys can be dipped in water and frozen will help take the pain away. You'll probably notice blood on things, don't worry it's natural.
If you don't give her something to chew on, she'll almost definitely chew on something you don't want her too. Teething usually lasts until about a year when their jaws mature and their teeth are set.

Reply:ok i have a lab 2 and he just turned a year old not to long ago, but he started losing his teeth around 4 months! and they grew back pretty quick! and the way they are different is the adult tooth is a lot bigger and its not needle sharp like the puppy tooth!!!
Reply:Your pup sounds fine- they can loose their teeth from 306 mths. Ensure he has plenty of hard objects to chew and as mentioned by another user- a frozen rope toy(even just soaked in water) helped to cool his gums.
You can tell the difference becoz the adult teeth will be larger- check to see that there is no retained teeth as they need to be taken out.
I'm not the best person to ask as to how you tell if a pup has retained teeth- so if ur concerned- maybe ask another question.
Reply:Puppies start teething at around 3.5 months and will lose the first tooth at 4 months. This will carry on for another 2 to 3 months. The new teeth are not as sharp as the baby teeth, are very white and much bigger. New teeth will come in shortly after the baby teeth as the adult teeth push the baby teeth out. The new teeth come in once a baby tooth has fallen out. This is an ongoing process and the teeth do not come all at once. Don't forget, they also will lose the canines (fangs)and molars.
In my experience most dogs will finish teething at 7 months. This means the whole process will be completed, from the loosening, falling out and growth of adult teeth. Once the adult teeth are in, thats it, no more teething or new teeth. If your dog loses an adult tooth it will not grow back.
Give him things to chew. Ice works well, they love it and you can flavour it with beef or chicken broth.
Reply:it's the time, wait till you see new little cute teeth growing, then you should really hide your shoes;-)

At what age does a child start losing their teeth?
My daughter lost a bottom tooth about 2 months ago, and today I have noticed she has lost another tooth, next to the one she lost first. I can't find it anywhere, so I can only assume she has swallowed it as she was eating an apple. Not only that, the tooth on the otherside of the first one she lost is also loose.
Is this okay, as I am worried now, I can't get hold of the dentist, too late in the day.
A bit of a thick question, but I don't know anyone with a child this late in the day to ask.
Thanks for your help.
At what age does a child start losing their teeth?
Usually around the age of 6 as I recall it lasted from 1st to 3rd grade, then these big honkin teeth grew in and I thought oh my god my child is going to have horse teeth, but when the other ones grew in around them , they turned out fine. Your child probably did swallow the tooth, be glad she does not freak out like one of mine did and puke all over the place when one fell out!

Average age for losing teeth is about 5 to 6 and sometimes they will all come out in a short space of time as with your daughter or it can be months in between the first and the next.

just keep trying to get a hold of a dentist if you still worry and need a professional opinon.

Reply:My dentist recently told me that children normally start losing their teeth around the age of 6 onwards. My daughter lost her first tooth when she was 7 and has only so far lost 2, but she has a friend who has lost quite a few teeth in the last year. As one tooth fell out, the next one to it got wobbly! Don't worry about it, it is quite normal. Also, don't forget that as children lose the front teeth, then she will get her new back teeth as well, so she may have what appear to be lumps on her gums at the back which can take quite some time to come through. Good luck, and if any pain, don't forget that rubbing Anbosol (I think thats what it is called) on the gums will help with the pain.
Reply:It is normal to loose more than one tooth at a time. If she swallowed the tooth, I don't think it could cause much damage if any. I think she will be fine. My son is loosing his teeth right now. He has lost three on the bottom and one on top. The others are loose also. It is normal.
Reply:My youngest lost his first two teeth when he was 5. I've known kids to lose a tooth at age 4 1/2. Probably the norm is between 5 and 13 as teeth losing years.
Reply:Hi - it differs with children. Mine are 9 and 5, and both have no front teeth at the moment!
Both have lost top middle two and bottom middle four over about the last 6 months.
Reply:Most kids start to lose their teeth around age 6, if its fallen out due to some kind of trauma, you'd know it, mouths bleed a lot. My daughter had a tooth yanked out her mouth when she jumped of a slide and landed mouth open on a washing line, it bled for ages. If she's swallowed the tooth it won't do her any harm, it will either be broken down in her system or come straight out the other end.
It's common for lots of teeth to follow when they start falling out, my daughter lost eight in only a few months
Reply:Varies relative to their diet and hygiene.
Anything from age 4 -6 for the milk teeth and after that the rest with time or neglect.
One word of advice.
After the milk teeth go the next two or so years are very important.
As the mouth fills with new teeth count them and when there is nothing left except the wisdom teeth to come visit a dentist and ask if the mouth is big enough for them.
He might take out the back ones top and bottom but don't worry.
The child will not need braces and will enjoy healthy teeth for life.
Reply:Kids will often lose more than one tooth at a time, creating a gap-toothed smile. Usually they lose the bottom two then the top two, then work their way outwards. Age can vary. Typically this starts around age 6, but it can be a year or more earlier or later. I have school pictures of some of my kids where they had no front teeth at all, just a big hole. At a holiday performance for one of my sons' first grade class, they sang "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." Most of them embodied the song perfectly. If you have been taking your daughter for regular dental checkups, you probably have nothing to worry about. If you haven't, get started so that she will have good care as her permanent teeth come in. Fluoride treatments really make a remarkable difference in preventing cavities!
Reply:at 6 or 7
Reply:Some kids lose them faster than others, but the norm is age 6. Your daughter is fine, as some kids shed several milk teeth at once.

Is my kitten having accidents due to losing her baby teeth?
My kitten started having accidents outside the litterbox, and a little bit after they started I found one tooth nestled in her fur and she dropped another in my palm. She is around four months old, so I assume this is just her losing her baby teeth, but I'm wondering if she's having accidents due to any pain or discomfort she's feeling from teething?
Is my kitten having accidents due to losing her baby teeth?
I don't think there's any connection. Baby (milk) teeth have no roots, so there is no pain when they come out.
She may be having accidents outside the litterbox for the same reason that some children who had been potty-trained start having accidents when they're a little older and more active -- they get so involved with playing that they don't realize that they have to "go" and the bathroom (litterbox) is so far away, and....
You might be able to prevent the accidents by putting her in her litterbox every hour or so, just to remind her,
Reply:I've never had a kitten experience litterbox problems due to teething. I don't think the two things are related. She needs to be retrained to the box. If you suspect any illness, take her to the vet.
Reply:I've never heard of a correlation between teething and inapropriate pottying in cats. You might want to call and check with your vet just to be sure though. Usually inapropriate urination or evacuation around the house is one of the first signs that something else is going on. I would just start with a phone call just to double check.
Best of luck to you and your kitten.
Reply:They have pain just as we do but can't complain. Ice shaving to lick helps the gums .Rub her jaws a little. They don't chew on things like dogs for teething .

When will my puppy start losing her milk teeth?
I just want to know how old she has to be before she starts losing her milk teeth. she was born November 24 so I guess she is 11 weeks old.
When will my puppy start losing her milk teeth?
It depends on the individual dog but normally they will start loosing them between 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 months. You pup has a ways to go before she starts loosing them.
Reply:Puppies lose their baby teeth at about 5 months old. You will find them everywhere!
Reply:Usually around six months' old. I managed to get one from my German Shepherd. Normally they just swallow them, but I heard her rattling one around in her mouth and I managed to get it from her. She has been gone for a long long time, but still got her tooth.
Reply:her what? never heard that term before, anyway, my dobe puppies start teething at 4 months, lasts up to 2 months. You have some time to go, but when you hit the 4 month mark make sure she has semihard stuff to chew on, makes the process easier as some teeth are stubborn and need help, don't panic if you see blood then, very normal.

When will my puppy start losing her milk teeth?
It depends on the individual dog but normally they will start loosing them between 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 months. You pup has a ways to go before she starts loosing them.
Reply:Puppies lose their baby teeth at about 5 months old. You will find them everywhere!

How long does it generally take for people who use smokeless tabacco to start losing teeth or get mouth cancer
Depends on how good there teeth/gums were in the first place. My friend chewed for 3 months and ended up with mouth cancer. I would rather kiss a smoker than a chewer.
