| My Bella had four teeth removed at her first dental, and I felt bad too, but the vet said that it is common with small breeds. Bella is three years old. How old is your Yorkie? |

| Your dog will adjust. For the future, keep an eye on the teeth to try and prevent build up and infection from happening again- so your dog can keep the rest of the teeth. My chihuahua is missing two teeth, they had to be removed. It wasn't my fault- he'd been neglected and his mouth was really bad, I tried brushing, etc to get it off but just couldn't undo years of build up. The two bottom premolars were what went, and they don't impact him at all being gone. They're really mostly vestigial teeth, luckily. I watch his mouth really close and use raw bones, dental chews, brushing, and even manually remove any tartar that builds up. He's elderly so it happens fast in his tiny mouth, but he's been able to avoid any further dental work! He's high risk (epileptic, among other things) so the less anesthetic he gets the better.

YorkieTalk Newbie! | Rambo is missing many of his teeth after a dental cleaning... It made me sad, too! But he's happier now. Especially since he doesn't have his "snaggle tooth" anymore. haha. He is eating kibble, but just slightly slower. I feed him the wet version of his Nutro sometimes as a nice weekly treat! |

| My little guy needs a dental badly. He's 7 and I've been putting off for 2 years when the vet recommended it. They charge upwards of 1400 here for a dental and that increases with extractions. I'm concerned he has some bad teeth as he is out of sorts this weekend. Always has his mouth open, tongue hanging out and doesn't seem to be chewing his food anymore, just swallowing. He had a fever last week and they gave him fluids. Starting to wonder if it's an infected tooth. I'm watching him closely today but he may end up needing antibiotics and then a dental regardless. This happen to anyone's Yorkie before? |
