As a new boxer owner (5 and 1/2 months), I obviously have much to learn. But I had a concern I was curious to see if anyone could be of assistance with. I have a beautiful 7 and 1/2 month old flashy fawn , Princess Alexis Paige, who is the picture of health (and terror, as I write, she is stampeding through the house...), with one possible exception. She has now recieved the majority of her second teeth, all but 2, have come in appropriately. Her 2 bottom front teeth have begun to more than overlap. The teeth pressing against one another has caused them not to come up and out of the gum as they should. All of the surrounding teeth, on top and bottom, are close to grown in completely, as I believe. The bottom teeth though are so worrysome. They are litterally, just 2 small bumps, and if you are looking at her straight on, the left is completely in front of the right.
I have talk to her father and now he's begining to show some concern about it. At first we thought they would fix themselves, but as more time goes by, it is obvious that this may be a much more serious issue then we had originally had thought. Am I crazy, or do I start looking for a doggie dentist now? Thanks everyone in advance, we truly appriciate your help.

Although all her teeth are now through, her jaw will still be growing and the teeth will still need to move and 'settle in' to their final positions, so they may go straight on their own. Hope she gets 'all straightened' out soon anyway.
