My dog's 3 or 4 months old and her tooth fell out. Are those her adult teeth or baby teeth?

That is her baby teeth. they will continue to fall out for the next few months..
Watch when she is eating, that she is able to chew..moisten her food for a week or so if she seems to have any problems.
Puppies lose their teeth just as children do..

Those are baby teeth, puppies shed baby teeth from about 4 months of age to 7 months of age. Most mammals have two sets of teeth, baby teeth and then adult teeth, just as humans do. Most of the time, pups will just swallow baby teeth when they fall out. Sometimes, a baby canine tooth won't fall out when the adult tooth comes in beside it and then you should pull the baby canine tooth so that it doesn't interfere with the adult tooth coming in correctly. Puppies can also have sore gums, lose appetite, and have discomfort similar to the discomforts human babies have when teething. The gumabone or plaque attacker dog toys are safe enjoyable teething toys to give to a puppy to chew on.

That's the baby teeth. Over the years I've had dogs who, when they would lose their baby teeth, ate them. Aren't dogs just full of surprises? Gotta love um.

Her baby teeth she will lose a lot most of the time you don't see them because they swallow them. Other times you find them and they bleed. She will be fine. Sometimes not all the teeth fall out and they will need pulled. My Yorkie had to have 2 pulled when she was spayed.

Its her baby tooth,
when dogs are pups, they loose teeth, the reason we dont see this is because they usually swallow their tooth when it falls out.
It doesnt really matter if its their baby or adult teeth, as they arent to bothered about teeth like humans.
(Just make sure she doesnt loose too many of those adult teeth!)
Hope this helps : )

Those are baby teeth. My puppy had his teeth fall out till he was 7 months. I worked at a vet. office and the doc. said it was normal and not to worry. Just becareful they hurt if you accidentally step one one.
