I am watching this thread with interest. I worry about my Yorkies teeth and try to do preventive care. I brush their teeth, use water aditives and OraVet from the Vet. And dental chews. But nothing I have tried is that effective.
Keeping their teeth healthy can be expensive. Also we worry about the pain, and putting them under. It costs about $1,500 to $2,000 a year for dentals on five Yorkies.
Gracie just two weeks ago had to go to a dental specialist and have work done on an infection between her jaw bone and a tooth root. That was over $900. Others on here have had the same kind of experiences with infected tooth or cracked tooth and so on. (if anyone needs a recommendation for Yorkie dental work in central Fl. PM me) Surely there are things out there that would help keep their teeth healthy.
I would love some something that really worked.
