Poor little shark mouth! My Tibbe had several retained baby teeth - ?6? - he had to have pulled and 3 or 4 permanent teeth when he had his first dental about age 9 1/2 - 10 mos. I'd only gotten him a couple weeks before and he'd been on very bad food the vet said and never ever had as much as a single toothbrushing I guess as he spent his first 9 mos. outside at a breeders in a cage under a shed with apparently very little care. I felt so sorry for him but once we got his teeth cleaned and we worked into desensitizing him into getting his teeth brushed, he never did have to have teeth pulled again. I hope your little one is going to heal up quickly and has good dental health from now on, thanks to mommie's efforts at brushing and regular dental check-ups for this little one.
