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.
Both dogs and cats are born without any teeth. By 3 to 4 weeks the baby teeth erupt. These early 28 teeth in dogs and 26 teeth in cats are replaced by the permanent teeth by 6 to 7 months of age. Adult dogs have 42 permanent teeth, and cats have 30 permanent teeth. Retained Teeth. Sometimes the permanent teeth come in but the baby teeth do not fall out. This often happens with the canine teeth or fangs (called canines in both dogs and cats). The next most common teeth to be retained are the lower canine teeth and the incisors. However, in some cases, the premolar teeth may also be retained. If the retained tooth is a lower canine, the permanent lower canine is forced to grow on the inside of the lower jaw and its tip usually grows towards the roof of the mouth, causing pain when your pet eats.
