Piglets are born with erupted teeth, in order to avoid sow teat injury and damage between piglets, some farms clip their deciduous teeth. [1] Lesions caused by piglet teeth are superficial and mortality is lower among pigs that don't undergo painful procedures, including teeth clipping.
The greatest number of teeth in any known placental land mammal [specify] was 48, with a formula of 3.1.5.3 3.1.5.3. [9] However, no living placental mammal has this number. In extant placental mammals, the maximum dental formula is 3.1.4.3 3.1.4.3 for pigs. Mammalian tooth counts are usually identical in the upper and lower jaws, but not always.
Similar to pigs, entelodonts retain a large number of teeth, a plesiomorphic trait approximating the ancestral condition for artiodactyls. They have a typical mammalian dental formula of 3.1.4.3 / 3.1.4.3, meaning that each tooth row has three pairs of robust incisors , a pair of large canines , four pairs of pointed premolars , and three pairs ...
Because the fetal pigs were still in the mother's uterus, teeth will still form which supports reasons for hollow unerupted teeth that may be seen. Similar to human dental anatomy, the overall dental anatomy of the pig consists of incisors, canines, pre-molars, and molars. Piglets can have 28 teeth total and adult pigs can have 44 teeth total.
