Typically the adult teeth will starting coming around 5.5-6 months of age. If Z broke the puppy teeth, then they will fall out soon and he should be fine. Monitor him for any signs of pain or abscesses. Please see the veterinarian when in doubt. If you can post a photo, it would be easier to tell. I hope he stays out of trouble!
