When Do Puppies Get Their Grown up Teeth?
We bet you didn't know that much like humans, dogs have two sets of teeth. Puppies start with 28 deciduous teeth, or baby teeth, that slowly pop up through their gums around 3 weeks old. Their baby teeth will stop growing in at around 6 weeks, and then by 3 or 4 months dogs will go through a teething process — just like babies.
Over the next three or four months dogs will get their 42 permanent adult teeth that will replace their deciduous teeth. Dogs don't have baby molars, but their baby teeth will fall out.

This is also to say that you'll want to be mindful of what your dog chews on, which might be everything at such a young age. Hard materials like ice, cow hooves, hard toys, or furniture should be no-nos (for several reasons). They can really hurt their little mouths. Puppies might even get "puppy breath" when teething. This is completely normal too.
It can be a big deal when your dog gets their big teeth in. It's certainly something to smile about.
