Bahaha...I just wanted to brag...I just pulled 2 baby teeth from Ivy's mouth, the top middle incisors...which had 1/2" roots! I noticed the adults were popping in under them, and the babies weren't even a little bit loose..so I got out the needle nose pliers (NOTE: I don't recommend doing this unless you have a really steady hand...you can EASILY break a tooth doing this), and latched on gently to the teeth and let her pull away as hard as she could. I got them both out! YAY! I am so thankful because that saves me a $300 trip to the vet to get them out. I can't have the adult teeth growing in crookedly or leaving ANY retained teeth in her mouth because it can ruin a mouth on a dog for showing it. So, now the adult teeth can finish coming in and fill in the spots where the babies were hogging I've pulled out every single one of her and Leah's incisors and several pre-molars so far. It's probably saved me at least $600 for the girls. I can NOT believe how long the roots are on these teeth -- I got a picture but in the move my camera cord has been misplaced so I'll have to upload them later. Ivy and Leah, for your information, are none the worse for wear, and don't even know anything happened. Hopefully their canines come out on their own Cuz those I don't think I can pull myself. Anyway, hahaha...I am pleased I got them out!

I bet! I seriously can't tell which ones are adult and which are babies! I can kinda tell with the tiny ones in the front now, cuz of you, but all the other ones, not a chance. I just need to figure out how to get detailed pics of their mouth, then send it to you. lol.

FWIW your girls can have theirs pulled at spay and it doesn't matter too much if they have a few crooked adult teeth, really.

Don't try this at home kids!!!!!
I've been really lucky with mine daisy has a reverse scissor bite anyway and her teeth are messy too ad bottom are crooked idk how because she doesn't have a lot of teeth ! But she had one canine left which was super loose and the vet pulled it with pliers!!
Lotus' came out all on their own and I am going to brag but this doggy has the best mouth ever all sparkly, White straight and in perfect place! Anyway I gave her those massive Rae bones I get from the butcher pig spines and everything and they literally came out themselves and ostrich tendons got the rest out!! So pleased the thought of putting them under for the sake of a couple of teeth make me sick!!
