My 3 babies are beween 1 year and a year and a half. Their teeth are gross! Ive got a gel to clean with but its VERY slow to help. I need to know WHEN to go to the vet for them and if there is a specfic kind of vet to see, you know like a dentist vet?
Ive read on here about them being put to sleep to clean but that sounds extreme. Is there a step between home cleaning and the sleep to clean?
Im worried their teeth are sore or a few wobbly. I feel very guilty that they are so bad. Before I came here I didnt even know people brushed their teeth.
