My pup is a little over 6 months old and has lost almost all of his puppy teeth and all of his other puppy canines except for this one and it's kind of concerning me... now his adult canine is growing in right next to it, and it's been several weeks and still hasn't fallen out. Just trying to see if it's something I should be worried about and take him to the vet to have it removed, or will it eventually just fall out on it's own? Would really appriciate any advice, thank you!
Apologies for the blurry, not so good photos. He was really hyper and wasn't cooperating... ![]()

Personally i would take him to the vet to have it pulled so the teeth have a better chance at being straight. Im no vet by any means but that happened with my human teeth and they are crooked because of it, and if im not mistaken, a dogs bite is everything to it.
I wish you luck. |

By the color change in the tooth...I assume that it is slowly dieing....
If it is not mobile soon...I would advice you to take him to the vet and have them remove the baby tooth...before...it can cause changes in the dentition. Baby teeth DO have roots, so sometimes there is need to have them extracted. In the mean time...give him hard bones and chewing items to help expedite the possibility of falling out itself.

He does have several bones and toys around the house that he plays and chews on constantly. We play tug and ball everyday in hopes that it will fall out during play time, but it hasn't worked yet. We don't play really rough with him to make it fall out, when we play tug we let him do the tugging.
