Andrew Tawes Webboard User Reg: 12-30-2004 Posts: 39 Loc: Virginia Offline	Hello everyone, My puppy has retained one of her canine baby teeth. The adult tooth is growing in in front of the baby tooth. Is this something that will fix itself or should I take her to the vet? It doesn't seem to bother her, just wondering if anyone has experienced this before. Thanks, Andrew

Some will say this will mess up his alignment which was scaring me but as I said all is fine now. MJK

If it feels solid I would have the vet remove it, it can affect the new tooth.I had a pup with that problem long time ago this dog is now 6 , but the vet removed it for me it was forcing the other tooth to position itself inward, not a good thing.

Andrew Tawes Webboard User Reg: 12-30-2004 Posts: 39 Loc: Virginia Offline	The tooth doesn't feel loose, at least not right now. I do plan to use her as a sch dog and she chews on a compressed rawhide bone almost every night. She was going at it pretty good last night but it doesn't look any different today. I'm wondering how long I should wait before I go to the vet. I don't want to take her if it isn't necessary. Thanks everyone for your input. Andrew
