dog losing teeth

Somehow our Pomeranian is missing teeth... no idea where they went... he had a full bottom row and now only the "eye" teeth are left. All the top left are there but top right are missing.

Any idea what's going on ? Any conditions we should be aware of ? He's been acting fine though. He's 6 years old...
 
My 9 year old polmeranian has lost a lot of her teeth, the vet just said that it's normal with older dogs. They loose many due to poor dental hygiene - buy a dog toothbrush and start scrubbing away on poor little gummy. 🙂

he eats very little soft food that gets thrown into his regular "crunchy" food (he lives with my parents - so not sure what brand). He gets a doggie biscuit after that which is like a hard cracker. He also gets a hard chew toy that's edible (takes him days) once in a while.

Is that bad ? We thought they need to chew on hard stuff because it makes their teeth stronger.

I found out 2 minutes before I posted this. It's not like I'm sitting around wondering. Figured I'd post this first.

Now apologize.

Yikes... I just hope he's not actually older than we think - we picked him up at the shelter and they *thought* he was 3 at the time... we couldn't tell either way. That was back in 2000.

No...i think what he has been getting is good. That is what i was getting at. I've been told that harder things make their teeth stronger. I'd definately advise a vet. sounds strange.
