Missing Tooth

[Robin Howe]

Rocky is almost 2 years old and yesterday I noticed that he lost one of his lower teeth. He has about 4 very small lower teeth. Are these still baby teeth? Should I be concerned? I would think that he has already lost his baby teeth at age 2. Please someone, let me know that this is okay.

A good friend of mine also a boxer owner told me that his boxer lost all of his front lower teeth. I'm not sure if ths common amoung the breed of not, but those front teeth sure are small. Maybe Rocky broke one off, not much you can do about it.

How is Rocky's dental hygeine? Do you brush?

Thanks for writing. I don't think it is bothering him. I guess maybe he broke it off chewing on a bone. I really don't brush his teeth, but he does get those dental bones. The rest of his teeth look okay accept that tiny teeth inthe front are sooooo small. Could you ask your friend, if there was a dental hygene problem that his dog lost those teeth, or has it been a problem in any way. Thanks.
