Mercola's website online. So I took him to the vet and he said he needs a dental cleaning. I have never done it because I didn't want to put him to sleep. So I did the cleaning 2 days ago and when I got him back all of his front teeth where gone!!!! I feel so bad now that I took him at all. The vet said his teeth where so loose that is was like pulling grapes off a vine. My heart aches and I want to know if anyone else has gone through this. Did I do the right thing? Is it true they are better off with out the wiggly teeth? His teeth did have some black stuff on them. He is only 5 is there anything else I can do to save the rest of his teeth?:

Hi there. When I got my Luci 4 1/2 yrs old at the time, 2 yrs ago aa a re-home, her teeth were awful. Her teeth were so loose several fell out before I got her Dental done. I took her and she got a dental, she lost all of front teeth top and bottom (these were the tiny teeth in the front). She has done great.
I try to brush her teeth, but she doesn't like it one bit. So, needless to say she will getting yearly dentals. Her dental last year great, no more teeth needeed to be pulled. She is actually due for her yearly dental coming up in July.
