The teeth of German Shepherds are very sharp, and they grow slowly. The teeth of German Shepherds gradually grow unevenly in about 20 days. In 30-40 days, the deciduous incisors will all grow in length. At 2 months, all the baby teeth have grown in, are pointed and tender white. 2-4 months, replace the first deciduous incisor.
5-6 months, the second and third deciduous incisors and all deciduous canines are replaced. Over 8 months old, all teeth are replaced by permanent teeth. 1 year old, the permanent teeth are all long, smooth and strong, with sharp protrusions on the upper part of the incisors. At 1.5 years old, the peak of the first mandibular incisor disappeared. At 2.5 years old, the peak of the second mandibular incisor disappeared. At 3.5 years old, the peak of the maxillary first incisor was lost. At 4.5 years old, the peak of the maxillary second incisor was lost.
At the age of 5, the peak of the third mandibular incisor was slightly worn, and at the same time, the first and second mandibular incisors were ground into a rectangular shape. At 6 years old, the peak of the third mandibular incisor was lost and the canine teeth were blunt and rounded. At the age of 7, the first incisor tooth of the mandible was worn to the root of the tooth, and the worn surface was vertically oval. At the age of 8, the first incisor of the mandible was worn and tilted forward. At 10 years old, the wear surfaces of the second mandibular and first maxillary incisors were longitudinally oval in shape. At the age of 16, the incisors were lost and the canines were incomplete. At the age of 20, the canine teeth fell out.
From the above-mentioned changes in the teeth of German Shepherds, we can see the growth process of German Shepherds. Generally, the life span of German Shepherds is about 15 years, and they will not die until all their teeth are lost. Life is so short, cherish it.
