Enough teeth to make a shark proud!

Macie was referred last week because her baby teeth were not falling out!  Puppies normally start to lose their baby teeth at about 4 months of age.  By 7 months of age the baby teeth should be all out and the permanent dentition should be present.  Macie is 8 months of age and her mouth looked a lot like a shark!



The retained baby teeth were preventing the adult teeth from erupting in a normal occlusion.  So I extracted 13 baby teeth and 2 permanent teeth to make room.  She did really well with the surgery and she is such a sweet puppy.
