Yesterday afternoon I heard our 5mth old pup Cherrie chewing on what sounded like a piece of hard plastic,went to investigate found nothing ,opened her mouth to find a white piece of what I thought was plastic sitting on her tongue.On closer inspection(glasses on)it turned out to be a molar,it must of fallen out in her mouth & she was trying to eat it.Earlier we were at the Vets on another matter & I asked about her new fang growing down behind her old one which was still firmly in place ,thinking we might be in for a dental problem in the future-no trouble the vet gave it the flick & the old tooth came out & she didn't even feel anything.This morning I vacuumed up another fang

Found one of her front teeth on her chin whiskers a few weeks ago ,it was so small I thought it was something from my sewing room floor.Hope she doesn't expect the tooth fairy to come calling LOL.How small are kittens teeth?Our cat is about 2yrs & his front bottom teeth are nearly invisble.

I did not know dogs lost their teeth, I assume to get permanents. Cute dog! Thanks for sharing.

It is so strange that when puppies loose their baby teeth that they seem to come out all at once. I certainly do not think that 'eating' a baby tooth will hurt her. Enjoy your little puppy. Hugs Sarah.

I have never found any of the teeth my dog lost, so I presume she has eaten them. No harm done and she is a healthu lively 1year old now!

I have never in my 72 years found ANY fallen out teeth of all the pets we have had. We were at a crocodile farm years ago and the guide held a baby croc so that we can feel his teeth and one came out as I moved my finger along his teeth!

Don't think I would put my finger in a baby crocs mouth ever , I value my fingers too much.The cat has a vicious bite when he wants to chomp you & he has only 4 sharp fangs

around 4-5 months, depending on the breed you're glad when they fall out.Scottish terrier puppy teeth are sharp. One Scottie had to have a tooth out & the vet & his staff were amazed at its size,kept it for us .Its in a box somewhere with other dog teeth that our dogs have lost over the yrs

When we had dogs we used to find baby teeth every now and then, don't remember what age they were!
