Tooth development, tooth replacement, and bite

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the stages of dental development, tooth replacement, and bite alignment, and highlight the importance of regular dental checkups. We’ll also discuss canine teeth and why it’s a good idea to have them removed by a veterinarian at the right time.

It’s important to detect bite misalignments and other dental problems early on, as this makes treatment easier. An overbite or underbite detected at a young age is easier to correct. Dental problems that go untreated can instead cause symptoms that are easily mistaken for something else.
