Dental Eruption Pattern of the Beagle

¹ Radiobiology Laboratory, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah

Based on observation of 106 purebred Beagles, eruption of the deciduous teeth began at approximately 3 weeks and was completed by the end of the fifth week. The canines appeared first and these were succeeded by the incisors and then by the molars.

Exfoliation of the temporary teeth began at approximately 110 days and was invariably preceded by eruption of the upper permanent first premolar. The last tooth of the permanent dentition to appear was the third molar, which erupted at approximately 175 days.
