What should i do with my pets teeth?

I have an 8th month old Miniature Pincsher puppy and when i examine her back teeth there are cracks and yellow substance on it, also theres a stink to it. Should i take her to a vet to get it checked for anything serious? Can you tell me anything i should know about my dog's teeth? If they fall out will they grow back?

8 months is a very young age for this problem to happen. he might have cracked it on something hard and there could be an underlying infection causing the smell you discribe. the yellow substance is probably tartar. do you feed him hard or canned food? i would take him to a vet because if he has an infection in the root cavity and that could lead to very serious problems. and at 8 months he already has the teeth he will have for life. they do not grow back.








btw: at 8 months a dog already has its adult teeth. or at least should!
Reply:her teeth will fall out and get new ones as she gets older. all dogs do. you can call and ask your vet about it and see what they recommend.
Reply:Since she's only 8 months old, they're probably baby teeth. SO yes if they fall out, they will grow back. You should take her to the vet and get them checked out just incase though, to make sure there's no cavities or anything serious going on. In the meantime, you may want to start brushing her teeth with just a human tooth brush (not yours, of course) and some dog toothpaste. Good luck to both you and your dog! :D
