Teeth

[adora's mom]

Adora's top & bottom front adult teeth are just starting to come in.

I'm pretty surprised at how crooked they are - is this common?

Just wondering if I'm going to need to find a doggie orthodontist?! :D

My girl's puppy teeth were straight in the front of the mouth, then the adult teeth came in. My husband asked if we needed to have her teeth straightened. The adult front incisors look like someone threw them to her from across the room, an underbite too. So cute! The teeth never show unless she pants and then it is only the lowers. I just want to add, not to worry.

manjas teeth are very crooked and very little. When he was a pup it would take him such a long time to eat eanything as he had to sort of 'lick it up'. Even now that his adult teeth are in (he's almost 1 and a half) they are very small and short and quite widely spaced. He still cant really take on a big bone or stick. When he play bites i can't really feel anything. Is this normal for a frenchie?

:lol: :lol: :lol: My sister in law once looked at Abby's teeth. She was so funny...she said "oh my goodness...for what you paid for her you would have thought she would have at least had straight teeth". I thought I would fall off of my chair laughing so hard. Now...the really funny thing is...she is married to my brother who is also our vet! :lol: My husband always remarks that when you open a Frenchie's mouth...you see a whole different world. :D I love their teeth. They are such bulldogs! Carolyn

LOL! Yep, they have a definate bulldog smile :)

I don't know why I was expecting Frenchies to have straight teeth! I guess it's because my older dog's teeth are so straight he could be in a Crest commercial!

:D
