Syd, I had this happen on my very first show pup. I knew nothing, at the time, about pre-molars. All I knew was she had a gap between her front teeth and molars. Lo and behold, she got these little teeth in there that I found out later were pre-molars and very important. Now, I brought this girl home at almost 5mos and the real premolars didn't come in til well after 6mos almost 7 mos. Again, I didn't really know or care about them until the breeder got concerned. She was very happy when they came in. I guess an x-ray might work to see if they are there. But, if they were there in the beginning, it stands to reason they will come in when adult teeth come in. I may be wrong but that is what happened with my girl.

This is a new experience for me...should I be worrying about the permanent tooth?
