Hi: It has been my experience with one of my poms that teeth come as they please. Crystal was slow in getting her teeth and when she did, she was growing another set on the bottom jaw under the initial ones. The first bottom were removed to make room for the second set. Her back teeth are not out as the should be but she has no trouble chewing on anything. She is now seven years old and eating well. I have seven children and many times I compare my puppies to them. I had one daughter who was missing a front tooth beside her middle front ones on each side. This was taken care of as soon as possible. She also had a daughter who had the same. This was taken care of also. Her son has the most beautiful set of teeth I have ever see. The first set look like large grains of highly polished rice and the second is startlingly shiny and beautifully aligned. You can always see a dentist vet or I would wait until she has them all to decide on that. If this is not enabling her to eat well, then you must go as soon as possible. Take care. Rita Rail
