I can't imagine a vet saying to do it on baby teeth, but if the dog is over a year, it probably means the adult teeth are affected. This could be caused by a variety of things, like an antibiotic, or I guess a fever, as someone suggested. I'm not sure it hereditary, but it wouldn't hurt to tell the breeder. I would certainly have it done on an adult dog's teeth, and be very grateful that there was a procedure that could help. |
