Yes, some Bichon Frise lose their teeth earlier than other breeds, starting at around seven years old. Genetics is partly to blame for early tooth loss, but poor dental hygiene can make things worse. Monitor your Bichon Frise’s teeth and gums throughout their life. If you notice any signs of dental issues, such as broken or loose teeth, swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath, or changes in chewing or eating habits, consult with a veterinarian.
