He should... Puppies don't normally start teething til they are 15+ weeks of age.. 10 weeks is awfully young to start teething.. Is it a small breed of dog?? Some of those guys, they don't put any time into making sure that they take the bite / mouth into consideration when they breed, so they tend to have either crappy teeth, or very few teeth.

If you are really concerned, you can take him to the vet. They can do an x-ray to see if perhaps he has lost his 'baby' teeth and the 'adult' ones have just not dropped down yet. If he has teeth below the gum line that have not dropped yet, the vet would be able to visualize that thru the x-ray. Good Luck!

This is an akward stage for puppies because they're both getting teeth and losing them. I wouldn't worry, but maybe mention it to your vet at the next checkup.

He might have lost some of his baby teeth already and is in the process of getting his adult ones. Don't worry about it - they'll all be there in time to chew up your favorite pair of shoes!

I think you should let nature take its course and not count your dog's teeth. Ask the vet on his next check-up if his teeth are OK. as long as he eats properly, I wouldn't worry. Anyway, these are baby teeth and they will fall off eventually.

That all depends on what kind of dog it is. A little more info would be great.
