Our 3.5 year old cutie gets real wild when there is dogs on TV and I think during one of these episodes she cracked the outer part of her chewing tooth with the antler we got for her. We saw our vet and she suggested we see a dental specialist for a root canal to see if the tooth can be saved. We have insurance for this pricey operation but I imagine root canal is a tough thing for 9 lbs little yorkie.

Anyone has experience with this?

Thank you all!
