Things You'll Need
- Teething dog toys
- Large, crunchy dog kibble or treats
- Dog toothbrush
- Dog toothpaste
Instructions
Give your Yorkie puppy teething toys to chew. These types of toys include rubber and soft nylon shapes and rope bones. The texture and shape of these toys help loosen your dog's baby teeth so they can fall out on their own.
Feed your Yorkie crunchy, large pieces of kibble or treats. Larger pieces of food require your dog to put extra effort into chewing, and a crunchy texture provides more resistance to loosen and remove baby teeth naturally.
Brush your Yorkie's teeth daily with a dog toothbrush and toothpaste. The motion of the bristles on your dog's outer baby teeth can help loosen the teeth further, encouraging them to fall out naturally.
Take your dog to the veterinarian, who will take x-rays and determine how likely the baby teeth are to fall out on their own. If the vet feels they are too firmly attached to the jaw, he will refer you to a dental specialist who will put your dog under anesthesia and surgically remove the teeth.
