Olivia is in need of dental work, both cleaning and removal of some teeth; I saw it as a recommendation on the vet paperwork that her previous owner passed along to me, and my own vet commented on it when I took her in for her initial checkup last fall. She has already lost several teeth prior to coming to me and my vet showed me a couple of places on the gums that he said were her roots coming through the gum?....?
Olivia is 8 yrs old and in good health as far as I know other than her teeth. Most of the posts about dentals that I've read have been with pups or young adults, but what about older dogs - what can I expect? Is this a dangerous procedure for an older girl? I am trying to get up my nerve to call the vet and set an appointment.
