Tooth anatomy diagram dog

How many sets of teeth do dogs have? As in humans, dogs have two sets of teeth in their lifetime.
Puppies have 28 deciduous teeth also known as primary, baby, or milk teeth.
Adult dogs have 42 permanent teeth, also known as secondary teeth.
The dog-tooth pattern consists of triangles, pyramids, or a petal-like designs connecting at the ends to form a diamond or square, that more often look like a sharp canine tooth.
The dog-tooth moulding pattern stems from the Early Normal period (c. 1066-1485 AD) and can be more commonly found on medieval cathedrals.
