| My Yorkie's teeth never fell out. He has his adult teeth growing in with his baby teeth, in other words he has a few double teeth growing. I don't plan to have any surgery on him to remove them, but was told by the Vet(s) & others I should. He chews normal and has no problems with having them as I can see. Who knows what can happen when you go under surgery. I lost a cat before him that went under, whom I had no choice but to put to sleep. |

| If it is done during the neuter, it will cost between $5 and $25ish per tooth. If you do the surgeries separately, you would be paying for double anesthesia and double blood work. It i not healthy to just leave them there. I just left Ellie's. Her mouth was in terrible condition because her teeth weren't taken care of properly. Evidently the baby teeth did end up falling out because as vet told me that she didn't have any at 5 years old but she did have stage 3-4 periodontal disease and needed 9 adult teeth pulled. Maybe things would've been diffferent had the baby teeth been pulled. Food can get stuck in the teeth and then there will be bacteria issues. Having double teeth can be painful (some dogs hide pain) and too much bacteria can lead to organ damage.
