Cats start out with 26 deciduous teeth. By six months of age, these baby teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, 30 in the cat. Cats have 30 teeth (12 incisors, 10 premolars, 4 canines, and 4 molars), while dogs have 42. Kittens have baby teeth, which are replaced by permanent teeth around the age of 7 months. Feline kittens have 26 deciduous teeth, and adult cats have 30 permanent teeth. Most of the teeth in a cat are very small and you can only see them if you look very close. Permanent dentition: 2(I 3/3 C 1/1 P 3/2 M 1/1) = 2(8/7) = 2(15) = 30 teeth.
You can roughly tell a catâs age by which baby teeth they have. Most cats will get their baby incisors (the small teeth in the front of the mouth) all between the time they are 2â4 weeks old. There are three sets of incisors, for a total of 6 incisors on the top and 6 on the bottom. Usually, the top and bottom teeth come in at the same time, and the inside set of incisors comes in first. Most cats will get their baby canine teeth (yes, cats have canine teeth!) between 3â4 weeks old. The baby premolars come in next. Cats have 3 sets of baby premolars on the top (left and right), and 2 sets of baby premolars on the bottom (left and right), for a total of 10 baby premolars.
