Section 1: Teddy Bear Dog's Dental Condition at Different Ages

The permanent teeth distribution in adult Teddy Bear dogs: There are 6 teeth on the top and bottom jaws, 2 incisors, 8 premolars, and 6 molars on both the top and bottom jaws, totaling 42 teeth.

The distribution of deciduous teeth in young Teddy Bear dogs: There are 6 canines, with 2 on the top and bottom jaws each, and 6 premolars, with 6 on both the top and bottom jaws, totaling 28 teeth.

Section 2: Age Assessment Criteria for Teddy Bear Dogs

The age of adult Teddy Bear dogs can primarily be assessed by observing the growth, wear, and sharpness of their teeth. This allows for the determination of a puppy's age based on the number, strength, condition, and brightness of their teeth.

Approximately around 20 days, puppies begin to grow their teeth gradually.

By around 30 to 40 days, the deciduous incisors are all in place.

After two months, all deciduous teeth are fully grown, appearing sharp and delicate with a pristine white color.

Between two and four months, puppies start to replace their first deciduous incisors.

From five to six months, the second and third deciduous incisors, as well as all deciduous canines, begin to be replaced.

By eight months and above, a puppy's teeth will have been fully replaced with permanent teeth.

At one year, the permanent teeth are fully grown, smooth, strong, and the upper incisors have a pointed tip.

At one and a half years, the first incisor on the lower jaw falls out.

At two and a half years, the second incisor on the lower jaw loses its尖peak.

At three years, the first incisor on the upper jaw falls out.

Between four and five years, the second incisor on the upper jaw falls out.

At five years, the third incisor on the lower jaw shows slight wear, while the first and second incisors have a rectangular shape.

At six years, the third incisor on the lower jaw becomes dull and rounded.

At seven years, the first incisor on the lower jaw shows wear, extending to the root, typically forming an elongated oval wear surface.

At eight years, the first incisor on the lower jaw shows wear and tends to tilt forward.

At ten years old, the first upper incisor shows wear, with the wear surface being elongated oval.

At sixteen years, the incisors fall out, and the canines are missing.

By twenty years, a dog's canines will have all fallen out.

Teddy Bear dogs rarely live beyond fifteen years old, which is closely related to their living environment, diet, and other various factors. The age of a Teddy Bear dog can be accurately determined by examining its teeth. For more information on dog age, click on "How to Determine a Dog's Age at Different Stages."
