View in browser PET HEALTH WEEKLY NEWSLETTER Like humans, dogs and cats have baby teeth, called deciduous teeth, that are replaced by permanent teeth as they grow and develop. In some cases, the deciduous teeth remain in the mouth even as the permanent teeth come in. When this happens, the retained teeth must be surgically removed as they can cause the permanent teeth to become misaligned or displaced in the mouth, leading to future dental problems and an increased risk for periodontal disease.
