| Hello, and welcome to YT! I would have a conversation with the vet who would be doing the dental surgery. Their perspective would be very important. I do know that bad teeth leads to lot of health issues if left uncared for. I am hoping that some others who have older pups will come forth with their experience!

| My 13 year old has his dental a few months ago. I had all the bloodwork done first to make sure the organs were functioning well enough to handle anesthesia. He also was eating fine and not showing any signs of pain but I think they handle that well and we really don't know how bad they are feeling. He went in at 9am and they kept him till 4pm to make sure he was ok waking up and he lost 7 teeth. He Is like a puppy again after. So full of life and just much more happy. It's very important to take care of the teeth and keep them comfortable. Good luck! |

| Kaywolf, it is a lot safer in the long run to get those teeth out now. If you leave them for now, a few years down the road she'll still have those bad teeth and it will be even harder on her to have the surgery to remove them. I have a little toy poodle rescue that is probably 12 now. He must have been born with genetically bad teeth. By the time we got him, his mouth was in such bad shape there was really no saving the teeth and he wouldn't let us anywhere near his mouth. His first dental he lost about 10 teeth. Within a year or so, his mouth was back in terrible shape. Summer of 2014 he went in for a second dental and lost all but three of his remaining teeth. He has only three little canines left. He was about ten when he had the second surgery. We had blood work done to make sure he could handle the anesthesia, and he did fine during the surgery. The recovery was pretty hard on him. I am sure he was in a lot of pain from losing that many teeth at once and he had a hard time eating. We had to hand feed him for at least a few months, but once his gums healed and toughened up he did fine. At first I thought I'd made a terrible mistake, having all of his teeth removed but in retrospect it was the best choice I could have made for him. He is a happier, healthier dog without all that infection in his mouth. I do feed him wet food for his meals, but his gums are about as tough as teeth now. He can eat tiny little milk bones, and even snacks on dry kibble during the day between meals. He was never a good eater before the last dental and was thin and under weight. He has gained two pounds and is fit and healthy. It is never a bad idea to remove bad teeth if possible. Bad teeth cause heart and kidney problems which aren't so easy to fix. Diana |

| Just had another dental done on our senior toy fox terrier (12 next month) and he had 3 teeth removed this time. Blood work first of course to make sure he was healthy enough for the surgery. Didn't have any issues afterward. Came home and wanted to play fetch but of course we didn't since he had had some removed. The did keep him till after 4:30 to make sure all was well. Not sure I'd want to pick him up in just a couple of hours after a surgery. I imagine, with 6 bad teeth, your little one will end up feeling lots better after they are removed. |
