Retained baby teeth — early action makes a real difference
High RiskRetained baby teeth are very common in Pomeranians. Double rows create bacteria traps and dramatically accelerate dental disease.
The thick fluffy coat around a Pomeranian's face frequently obscures the mouth, making visual checks difficult.
Like most toy breeds, Pomeranians have a very small jaw with tightly packed teeth that create zones impossible to clean properly.
Without daily preventive care, early tooth loss in Pomeranians is common.
"Pomeranians retain baby teeth more than almost any other breed — and double rows of teeth are one of the biggest early-life risk factors for dental disease. If your Pomeranian is around 6 months old with retained baby teeth, ask your vet about extraction at the same time as spay/neuter."

Do Pomeranians lose their teeth early?
Without daily preventive care, yes. Pomeranians are high-risk and disease progresses rapidly in their small jaw.
Why does my Pomeranian's coat hide dental problems?
The thick facial coat often obscures the mouth. Part the facial fur weekly and actually look at the teeth.
What dental routine does a Pomeranian need?
Daily brushing, daily water additive, one XS chew after meals, and a vet exam every 6 months from age 1.
When should a Pomeranian's retained baby teeth be removed?
If baby teeth are still present at 6 months, they should be extracted by a vet — ideally at the same time as spay/neuter.
