Your 6 month old jack has lost most of his milk teeth but canines are coming in and is behind them Should you have removed or wait?

It's best to wait until your Jack Russell Terrier's canine teeth have fully erupted before making any decisions about removing them. Removing the canine teeth too early can cause a number of problems, including:

- Malocclusion: This is a condition in which the teeth do not align properly, which can lead to a variety of problems, including difficulty eating and pain.

- Trauma to the gums: Removing the canine teeth can damage the gums and underlying bone, which can lead to infection and pain.

- Increased risk of periodontal disease: Removing the canine teeth can make it easier for bacteria to accumulate around the other teeth, which can increase the risk of periodontal disease.

In most cases, it's best to wait until your Jack Russell Terrier's canine teeth have fully erupted and then schedule a consultation with your veterinarian to discuss whether or not to have them removed.
