Hi!

I have a puppy which is 6 months old poochon. She is teething and 2 of her adults teeth seems to be growing very closely together/in a wrong place. I might be wrong and maybe this is how its supposed to be I am not sure as this is my first puppy.

She has just been checked by the vet (before this strange tooth appeared) and she is healthy eating and biting normally just seems a little bit uncomfortable sometimes.

I dont know if I should wait or take her to the vet with this immediately so I'd appreciate any advice, thank you.

That doesn't look normal, but I wouldn't be losing sleep. If you are planning on having her spayed, perhaps the vet could remove the badly growing teeth at the same time.

Changing to adult teeth can sometimes temporarily create an odd layout which often sorts itself out, so no need to worry too much at this stage. If, once the teeth are completely through and properly bedded in (takes time) some or one is out of kilter, they can be left if not interfering with the mouth. With some breeds/crossbreeds there can be a tendency to inherit a misaligned mouth. This only needs attention if it causes damage to the mouth or other teeth, so it's a 'wait and see'.
