Puppy's 6-month baby canine teeth: will they fall out or need removal?

Question

Good morning! My 6 month maltipoo still has his canine teeth, as per the vet yesterday she said they’ll need to be taken out, is this true or is there a possibility they will come out on their own? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 months and 12 days old | 9.4 lbs

At six months of age, there is a chance that the baby canine teeth might still fall out on their own. I usually tell my clients that if they're still there by the time the dog is a year old, they definitely need to be removed.
