Baby Teeth That Don’t Fall Out? It’s More Serious Than You Think

Some small breed dogs like Poodles, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Yorkies, and Malteses often retain their baby teeth – especially the canines. If your dog is over 6 months old and still has “double teeth,” it’s time to take action.

🚨 Persistent deciduous (baby) teeth don’t just look odd – they cause real problems:
❌ Crowded teeth and misaligned adult teeth
❌ Damage to erupting permanent teeth
❌ Early and severe plaque buildup
❌ Increased risk of periodontal disease

The solution? ✅ Professional extraction by an experienced vet.
These teeth can break easily, and they’re located dangerously close to adult teeth. That’s why dental X-rays are essential during removal – especially for those long, tricky canine roots.

💡 Can you leave them in?
Unfortunately, no. Persistent baby teeth will cause 100% guaranteed issues if left untreated.
