Me either. I had actually asked about it when Lacy got her baby canines pulled. The vet said no way..can you imagine having your teeth pulled with no numbing or sedation. It hurts! And at least when a person has a loose tooth, you can TELL them to be still...dogs won't be still. And it is VERY important that they are still. If a dog is moving around and wiggilng and a vet is trying to pull a tooth out, the dog's jaw can be broken! A dog should always be put under for a tooth extraction.
