How many months does it take for a dog to get its teeth?
Dog teeth begin to change at the age of 4 months, and permanent teeth are completed at the age of 6 months.
But the doctor said that there are also some special ones that start to be replaced at two months. There are also those that are replaced only after they are 2 years old~ The teeth of adult dogs (permanent teeth) are incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, a total of 42 puppies The teeth are incisors, canines, and premolars, a total of 28 teeth.
One premolar and molar are missing. All canine teeth are short crown-shaped. The crowns of the first and second maxillary incisors are three-peaked, with a canine peak in the middle and small peaks on both sides. The remaining incisors each have two canine and small peaks. The canine teeth are curved conical shapes with sharp tips. It is a powerful weapon for offense and self-defense. The front teeth are three-dimensional. The sun teeth are multi-peaked.
The following criteria are used to determine age:

1.5 years old: The canine peak of the mandibular first incisor is worn to the level of the small peak. This phenomenon is called peak obliteration.
2.5 years old: The peak of the second mandibular incisor is lost.
3.5 years old: The peak of the maxillary first incisor is lost.
4.5 years old: The peak of the maxillary second incisor is lost.
5 years old: The peak of the third mandibular incisor is slightly worn, and the wear surface of the first and second mandibular incisors is rectangular.
6 years old: The peak of the third mandibular incisor is obliterated and the canine teeth are blunt and rounded.
7 years old: The mandibular first incisor is worn to the root of the tooth, and the wear surface is vertically oval
