Teething in puppies

Adult dogs have 42 teeth.

Puppies have 32 teeth.

Milk teeth erupt usually at around 1 month old.

These teeth get replaced usually at around 3 months old.

The final milk teeth usually erupt at about 4 months old.

The last of the teeth usually erupt at about 5 months old and by the time a puppy is around 7 months old, he has definitive dentition. His mouth is done.

Milk teeth fall out easily while chewing or eating. Most people will not find any teeth as the dog swallows them when they fall out, but some do find a puppy tooth at times - often in the puppy's bed.
