YOU CANNOT LEAVE BABY TEETH IN!!! That is unless a qualified canine dentist tells you that you should. I have been having loads of problems with my baby Bruce's teeth...In fact he is going to be getting braces even sometime within the next 3 months. Remaining baby teeth is just one problem we currently have and yes I will be having them surgically removed when the orthodontic devices are placed on his teeth...Yes it seems like unneccessary pain, but our vet and 2 canine dentists have told me it is neccessary to avoid more serious problems such as malocusion (bite troubles), serious wry bite (with this they can and often lose ability to eat on their own), and even worse abcess and infection that could cause blood disease/sepsis. Seek the advice of not just your vet but one that specializes in dentistry before making any decisions. I do not mean to seem like I am lecturing but I know you love your baby and want the best for her! |
