In general, three- to four-week-old cats have milk canines (two canines in the upper and lower jaws) and small incisors in the upper jaw, and by the fifth week, all the baby teeth are complete.

From the fifth month after birth, the cat begins to change its canine teeth, and when the cat's mouth is opened, it is common to see that the gums of the cat's canine teeth are slightly red, which is a sign that new teeth are going to grow. After another week or two, you can see that the cat has four canine teeth in the upper or lower jaw, that is, there are two teeth in the same canine position, and one is slightly thicker, which is the new tooth. As the new teeth grow, the milk canines are slowly loosened, fall off, and spit out by the cat.

At the age of four or five months, the director may lose his appetite during the tooth replacement stage, so on the one hand, it is necessary to pay attention to the growth of teeth in the cat's mouth, and on the other hand, to provide it with chewy food to protect the new teeth. One year after a cat is born, the front teeth of the lower jaw begin to wear out, and after seven years, the canine teeth gradually age. In the seventh year, the incisors of the lower jaw are rounded; A 10-year-old cat has all the front teeth in its upper jaw.

Attentive cat owners, by observing the changes in their cat's teeth, should prepare different foods for their cats to benefit their cat's health. (This knowledge can be used to determine the age of a cat!) ）

Hello, the teeth that cats will continue to grow in about a month after birth are baby teeth. Cats generally begin to change their teeth at the age of 3 to 4 months, and their baby teeth fall out and grow permanent teeth. If a permanent tooth falls out, no new teeth will grow.

Normally, kittens and puppies begin to change their teeth at the age of four months. Some owners don't see them change their teeth, and that's because the little pet swallows the teeth into their stomachs. In about a month, the kitten will complete the entire tooth replacement process. During the tooth replacement period.

Occasionally, give the kitten more soft food, not hard food, so as not to wear out the gums and cause gum inflammation.

Changing teeth may cause a short-term loss of appetite in cats.

This means that the cat has already begun the permanent tooth stage. Whether the cat has changed its teeth. This is a sign that new teeth are about to grow. Two teeth may appear at the same time, and that is the replacement canine.

Two fresh molars will gradually grow next to the canine teeth. Old teeth will be gradually replaced and fall out. Cat teeth change generally around 4-5 months, and its tooth growth and tooth replacement are as regular as humans.

Kittens will gradually grow baby teeth from birth, and when they are close to two months old, they will have the ability to eat dry cat food, so the cat mother begins to refuse the kitten to continue to drink milk when the cat has teeth, which is the so-called kitten weaning period.
