* Dogs typically don't lose adult teeth. Unlike humans, dogs only have one set of adult teeth that should last their entire lifetime.
* Baby teeth are lost in puppyhood. Puppies lose their baby teeth (also called deciduous teeth) as their adult teeth grow in. This usually happens around 4-6 months of age.
* Adult teeth shouldn't fall out unless there's a problem. Possible reasons for an adult tooth falling out include:
* Dental disease: Gum disease or tooth decay can weaken the tooth structure, leading to loss.
* Trauma: An injury to the mouth can damage a tooth and cause it to fall out.
* Disease: Certain diseases can affect the teeth and lead to loss.
* Old age: As dogs age, their teeth may become weaker and more prone to falling out.
If you notice a dog's adult tooth falling out, it's crucial to take them to a veterinarian. They can diagnose the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
