Hello! It’s great that you’re paying close attention to your kitten's dental health. Kittens typically begin to lose their baby teeth around three to four months of age, and their adult teeth usually come in shortly afterwards. However, it isn’t unusual for both sets of teeth to be present at the same time for a brief period.
In some cases, you might see a baby tooth still in place alongside an emerging adult tooth. This situation, known as a retained deciduous tooth, can occur and may occasionally need veterinary attention, particularly if it seems to be causing crowding or impacting your kitten's bite.
At home, you can gently check your kitten’s mouth to ensure the baby teeth are coming out as expected. Watch for signs such as bad breath, difficulty eating, or your kitten pawing at their mouth, as these could indicate discomfort or an oral health issue.
If you notice any unusual swelling, persistent bleeding, or your kitten seems to be in significant pain, it’s a good idea to get in touch with a vet as soon as possible.
For a thorough examination and peace of mind, consider booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. They can help you determine if everything is progressing normally or if further care is needed.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
