At birth, the kitten has no teeth. His milk teeth appear after the third week. In order, the incisors come out first, during the second or third week, then the canines, during the third and fourth week. The premolars do not appear until around the fifth week.
During the kitten's 11th week, the baby teeth begin to fall out. The kitten must wait until its sixth month to have complete teeth. There are 26 milk teeth in the kitten, including 12 incisors, 4 canines and 10 premolars (4 on the lower jaw and 6 on the upper jaw). An adult cat has 30 teeth. It has 4 molars in addition to those of the kitten.
During the fall of milk teeth, the kitten finds itself in a period of genes. This is manifested by the need to chew and gnaw. It is at this time that the kitten must have an object to practice. Give him one that doesn't go bad, so he can't ingest the pieces by accident.
Baby teeth fall out on their own. If they persist in the sixth month, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian, because the milk teeth must be removed to let the permanent teeth grow.
