Why is my puppy pawing her face after a baby tooth fell out?

Question

My puppy is teething and at random she started chewing at nothing really hard but only from one side then she started pawing at her face. So I got a doggy teeth wipe and started to wipe her teeth incase something was stuck and a tooth fell out. I'm assuming the chewing was just from the tooth not seizure acitivity but the pawing? She pawed at both sides and only chewed from the left. The chewing is gone she pawed only once more when I picked her up after.

The pawing was likely her trying to dislodge the object (tooth) in her mouth. This can happen and is no cause for concern. Be sure to place the tooth under her bed so the Tooth Fairy can leave some dog biscuits for Snowball :-)
