Yes. Puppies have 28 baby or deciduous teeth and will lose hem all. If you're lucky,you might even find a couple. Otherwise they are swallowed with no harm done.
Adults dogs have 42 teeth.

If its a puppy then yes, because its growing the adult teeth. If its older and the teeth seem to be yellow or have brown on them, you might want to take your dog to the vet to get the teeth cleaned. Dogs are just like humans and can have teeth probs.

Depends on the dog's age. If he's a puppy, then he's just losing his baby teeth, like people do.
If he's very very old, a few of them will fall out. Switch to a softer food.
If we're talking about a relatively young, healthy adult dog, you might want to see your vet about a dental care program. Doggie teeth benefit from brushing, too.

All puppies lose teeth. Their like humans. But if you dog is an adult and losing teeth, he may have a desease that may need to be treated by a vet.

How old is your dog? If it's a puppy, yes, they lose their puppy teeth. If it's an older dog, it's just like an older person: not good to lose our teeth!

Puppies lose their baby teeth, and as they get older, they can lose teeth so if it's only one, don't worry too much. Check his gums and see if they are red, and if he has really bad breath, he could be suffering from a gum disease, so you should take him to the vet in that event.

depends how old they are. puppies lose teeth, but if your dog is an adult, it could be
a) your dog's tooth was already loose due to some sort of accident
b)maybe your dog has a gum problem. some dogs get really horrible gingivitis, the same bacterium found in human mouths but usually killed by our toothpaste. your dog could only use a little oral hygiene!

As long as your was a puppy when it happened, yes, that's normal. Dogs have baby teeth just like we do.
If your dog is not a pup...call your vet and have them schedule a K-9 dental to see what's going on.

Yes. It's natural that they loose teeth from time to time. As long as we're not talking about a lot of teeth. This would be cause for alarm and warrant a trip to the vet to check for gum disease, etc..
