They are pure white, no staining, no plaque or tarter (that I can see) but....they gums are reseeding (on the roof of her mouth part). Her very front teeth are loose, and I fear that the remaining 4 teeth may also have to come out, as the gums are quite reseeded and I guess can or are allowing bacteria in

Her side and back teeth are yellowish stained - but again no tarter or plaque build up ~ as I MUST clean her teeth all the time #1 b/c they have issues and #2 because she will still eat poop from time to time.

For the past year I have also added the Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar to her PM meals, I hope that or the Petz4life that I rub on her teeth are isn't causing her gums to reseed like this
I'm not exactly sure what was wrong in the front of Ellie's mouth, but it was probably receding gums also. The vet did pull the remaining teeth (top and bottom) in the front between her fangs. Her tongue hands out even easier now.
