I know that it seems scary but it is better for your pup to have them pulled. In most rescues that come in we have to get their baby teeth and even adult teeth pulled at 2 years old because their baby teeth didn't come out and infected the adult teeth because of the tarter build up. So you definately want to have them removed. The sooner they come out the better for your pup. Yorkies tend to have bad teeth and need to have dentals every six months or less if they start having bad teeth at a young age which can cost $150 or more for each dental cleaning. Also there is this great chew that my little ones love it is an all natural mint rawhide made by beefeaters which will help their teeth get clean and make them stronger.
