It can be really worrying when we find a loose dog tooth in our adult canine’s mouth or if they actually lose a tooth. This is because dogs have incredibly strong jaws, with teeth capable of ripping flesh and chewing through bone.
If you’ve lived with your dog since they were a puppy you’ve no doubt experienced them puppy teething and losing their first set of teeth. However, it’s not expected for us to see a loose dog tooth in older pets, so when it happens it can be quite a shock. You might discover a loose dog tooth while brushing their teeth, which is a great way to keep an eye on the condition of your canine’s mouth. If the loose tooth issue has progressed to your dog actually losing teeth, then you may find a tooth stuck in their favorite longest-lasting dog chew or see one lying on the floor when you’re cleaning.
