Question:

: My 7-month-old Jack Russell lost his tooth last night while pulling on a slipper. How can I tell if the lost tooth was permanent or a baby tooth.

------------------ Response Area -------------------
At this age it should be the last of his molars. If it has long roots, it was a permanent tooth. If it is small and squarish, it was a temporary tooth.

Best wishes,

Brenda
