My kitten's adult canine is in, but the baby tooth won't fall out.

Hi, what you are seeing is his adult teeth coming in and his baby teeth haven't fallen out yet. this does not cause pain and is not a medical issue unless he gets to be over 1.5 years and they have not fallen out. The retained baby teeth can get food stuck in them and cause dental disease. I would not worry about it until his is older. Good luck, I hope this helps!

That appears to be a deciduous (baby) tooth. You can see the adult tooth near it and next to the other canine on the right side. If she will allow and you can do it safely, wipe the tooth with a piece of gauze. It should come away. Have her examined by your veterinarian tomorrow. She may need a dental x-ray to rule out retained roots.kittens will begin to lose teeth between 3-4 months of age. By 7 months, the adult teeth should be fully erupted.

Good observation. These are retained baby teeth. They should be out by now, but it looks like the permanent tooth did not push it out. These teeth do tend to cause problems, because it's easy for debris to get trapped in-between the two teeth and cause infection. For this reason, we usually recommend removal of the tooth.

This can be a common issue in young dogs, especially of small breeds. If the canine tooth doesn't fall out by the time the adult tooth has grown in, we normally recommend removal of this tooth at the pet's spay or neuter. The tooth can be a site that easily gets infected or is easily broken, and this is the reason we recommend removal,though we do see dogs who live with the baby tooth and don't have problems with them. They are also an area where tartar quickly accumulates as they age.

Typically the baby premolars will fall out between 16-20 weeks of age, so it could be possible that Chid has pulled out his adult teeth, but from the picture, these do not look like adult teeth. I suspect that his premolars are later coming out, and that's what he pulled out. I would have him seen by a vet just to be safe, and show the vet the teeth. I hope this helps!

Poor kitty. If the tooth is loose enough to then a gentle pull may be fine to do, as long as it is well tolerated by Oreo. However the deciduous teeth should fall out on their own as the adult teeth come in and we generally let this process occur naturally with no need of pulling on the teeth manually. Your kitty should then have all adult teeth by 6 months of age. I hope this helps!

If he swallows it, it will likely pass through him in a day or two. Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian. There may be a degree of periodontal disease or infection that should be addressed to prevent spread or discomfort.
