Omg Missing Teeth - 5 Year Old Yorkie

Hi all,
I have been absent from the Forum for a while as my little Kimmy has been happy and healthy. Last night while giving her a weekly bath/tooth brushing I went to brush her teeth and noticed she is missing 3 teeth. I don't know the proper terms but they are on the top. 1 "big" one and 2 or 3 little ones in the front. I held it together to finish her bath and didn't want to upset her. She is no pain whatsover - playing and eating just like normal. She gets regular dry food and a greenie a day and always chews her food (she takes a bunch in her mouth and carries it to wherever I am and chews it).

I BBM'd my breeder immediately and she told me not to worry and that she would lose some teeth. I asked her if it was my fault and she said no not at all. I asked if I shoudl take her to the vet and she said her next appointment was fine. I was going to take her in any way to make sure there is no infection (just waiting for the vet office to open).

At her last annual check up the vet actually praised me for the condition of her teeth. I asked about getting a proper cleaning and he told me I could wait and said I was doing a good job. I am so upset and worried. I feel terrible. It's her 5th birthday on Friday.
