| Max needs to go under..... I have noticed that one of Max's back molars has accumulated far too much plaque build up then a one and a half year old should have. With my diligent brushing schedule i knew that something was not right. Today i took him to the vet and with one look at his teeth the vet said that there was overcrowding and something causing all that plaque to build up on the that one particular tooth. He would definitely need an x ray to figure out what was going on and possible tooth extraction. Looking at a $500 vet bill. But I am willing to do anything to have a healthy happy pet. |

| My yorkie's top canine teeth never fell out when the adult ones came in. They are in line with the rest of his teeth, they moved to allow room. He gets plaque pretty bad on those teeth, in between them as well. We don't have $1000 to get both removed. I found out that my dog likes to chew on tooth brushes (new ones) and that helps get rid of most of the plaque. He also gets a greenie and a denta-stix daily. So we just give him a new toothbrush whenever the old one is totally frayed. So far it's working to keep the plaque at bay. I don't brush his teeth, we should but we don't. We should have started that early on but never did, so I doubt he'd be okay with starting now. Good luck!
