I found my dog with a missing tooth today, not sure where the tooth is but is it normal. He is only 6 mths old.
Will he get a new tooth like human and other animals

Awww, poor little puppy.. You don't need to worry though. As the others have already told you, it's perfectly normal. I'm guessing that your pup is probably about way done with teething, but you still might be lucky enough to find another tooth or two. I have 3 of my dog's baby teeth in her scrapbook.
Puppies have no teeth at birth, and grow deciduous teeth beginning their second week of life. At three months of age, the deciduous teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent teeth.
The replacement process begins with the incisors, and moves backwards through the canines, premolars and finally the molars.
The turnover process is usually complete by the time the dog is eight months old, with none of the original 28 deciduous teeth remaining. Most deciduous teeth are swallowed with food and never seen by the pet owner. Occasionally a deciduous tooth is merely pushed to the side and retained next to the permanent tooth. Retained deciduous teeth can be removed by a veterinarian.
The incisors turn over from deciduous to permanent from two to four months of age. The canines usually convert around six months of age. The premolars and molars follow in that order, with the last permanent molar erupting around eight months of age.
Dogs have 28 deciduous (temporary) teeth and 42 permanent teeth.

confident canines lose their tooth. they start everywhere from 4 months on up and by the time they are around 11 months old they might desire to have lost all of them and characteristic all grownup tooth coming in. in the journey that your canines has a lump with an beginning it must be an contaminated trojan horse chew, a festering thorn, or an contaminated hair follicle. in the journey that your canines has a small lump under its epidermis with out beginning it must be a cyst. If it sort of feels to be comfortable love it extremely is crammed with fluid it maximum probable is a cyst. If it feels thicker love it extremely is created from bread dough or some thing extra stable you may take the canines to the vet because of the fact it must be a tumor. Tumors could be benign (hazard free, no longer transforming into) or malignant (transforming into and in a position to unfold) and your vet will might desire to ascertain it out.

This is completely normal. Puppies lose their teeth just like little kids do. An adult dog tooth will grow in place of it.

It's normal, they begin losing teeth around 4 months of age. The most probable reason why you didn't find it is this: the puppy teeth usually come out when they are eating so they swallow it. You many see it come out another end soon enough...if you know what I mean!!! LOL - no worries, it's totally normal:)
