If the adult teeth are in, I'd say you're good to go. My 6 month old pit mix likes nothing better than sinking his choppers into a tug--which keeps him from sinking them into a Corgi.

I'm a little confused - Do you mean she's loosing her baby teeth and getting her adult teeth in? Radar was very tender around 4 months, so we stopped until his adult teeth had actually pushed most of the way out.

As far as I understand what you've got is what you get when it comes to teeth. If she's not tender mouthed then she should be okay for some light, short sessions of tug.
Teeth do 'harden' to some extent with age, as the root grows deeper into the bone... but once the adult teeth are in, you're ready to go! (So long as she's not tender mouthed, just as Samantha already said)
