He is also only turning 2 and I have tried very hard to brush his teeth almost daily. Of course he has only just started to let me brush well as it took this long for him to get comfortable with the process but it is too late to get the tartar off without a good cleaning. After seeing Mike's post about poor Jilly having to have 8 teeth pulled at the age of 4 even with brushing I am definitely going to take Wallee yearly to get this tartar taken care of. |
Please look into the anesthesia free cleanings before doing them. They're really purely a cosmetic procedure. No idea what's going on under the gumline and they're not particularly safe or effective. It's kind of a false sense of security, really, because a dogs teeth could LOOK perfectly white, but still have issues.
