our RVTs do the dental cleanings with vet help if extractions are needed. every vet clinic I've ever known has someone that does dentals. it's part of doggie health care. all dogs will eventually need a dental but yorkies are highly prone to gum disease and periodonatl disease. dirty gums and teeth can cause more than bad breath but can lead to severe illlness due to the bacterian build up and then swallowed into the body.
please get that dental done and please for those reading start brushing your dogs teeth at least once a week if not daily or every other day. dogs prob. prefer meat flavored toothpastes, but i have both that and peanut flavored at home. also CET makes wonderful Veggie Dent dog chews for dogs with allergies and bully sticks and antlers help some on cleaning while they chew. |
