Maltese
will typically loose their puppy teeth and cut adult teeth between 5 and 8 months of age. It
is important to regularly check the mouth of your Maltese during this period of time. Many
Maltese have puppy teeth with extremely long roots -- especially the canines -- causing these
teeth to not fall out naturally. If this is the case it is important that your veterinarian
pull these teeth to prevent a malocclusion. Many times pulling these retained puppy teeth can
be combined with a spay and neutering procedure.
