The ideal time to have any extra baby teeth removed is when you have your chihuahua spayed or neutered at 6 months. If you are planning to show your chihuahua it is best to have the vet pull baby teeth as soon as possible to ensure that his bite remains correct.
Sometimes the teeth will eventually fall out on their own up to 12-18 months of age. If there are still extra teeth at 18 months I would definitely have the vet remove them at that point.
