I have to comment on this. Petzlife gel while used by a lot of people on YT, is not something that the veterinary dentist was a fan of when I asked him about it. He said the single best thing anyone can do for their dog's oral health is brushing. We had a long discussion about toothbrushes as well - he said a cat toothbrush is good on the little guys or a baby toothbrush like I use works fine. Some people buy the mini toothbrushes from CET dental but they are too small for my dogs who are not tinies. By the way, anesthesia is very safe -- the risk of death is only 1% of 1%. You have a greater chance of death by driving to the vet to take your dog in. My dog Daisy is a HIGH RISK dog -- she undergoes anesthesia when she needs it. We take her blood before hand and keep her under for only so long as she needs to be. She has a standard protocol used for toy dogs -- induction with propofol and maintainance with isoflurane. She is almost 11 and had a dental a few months ago after she broke a tooth that was hanging on by a thread and a little painful for her. It is far worse for your dog's health to short cut on veterinary care and especially dental care.
Best wishes for this tooth!
