Teeth cleaning? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My puppy Lily still has her baby pointer teeth along with her new adult pointer teeth...shouldn't they have fallen out by now...she is nine months old...she is getting build up in between them...even though I brush them. Should I make an appointment with the vet to get them removed or should I wait a little longer to see if they fall out on their own? How much money does this procedure usually cost? Thanks!

You've waited long enough, you're risking decay of the adult teeth. Call your vet, prices vary geographically. The biggest expense is the anesthesia. Insist on isoflurane or sevoflurane and then they usually charge a per tooth fee. K.C. had four canines pulled at $8.00 a tooth and then the anesthesia was about $50.00.

Great! Thanks for the advice! I will definitely make an appointement with my vet to remove the teeth....I wouldn't want her Adult teeth to decay!!!

I brushed Tiger's teeth everyday when I had him, but now that I have Annika, I haven't been doing much

The Vet says Tiger's teeth are very white so I am sure I am not getting any compliments with Annika as I keep forgetting (bad momma

) . . .

I ordered petzlife last week after reading the post about it.
I tasted it immediately before giving it to Buddy. To me is just tastes
like Listerine or any other antiseptic mouth wash!. His teeth are nice and white to begin with but I bought it anyhow. I will use it twice a week and
continue brushing daily. It would cost me 250.00 to have his teeth cleaned here in my area and I think that is costly. Not to mention the fact he will be
knocked out which I don't like to even think about. I will do my best to keep
his teeth clean and free from gum desease.

Jaxon is 2 1/2 years old & he just had his teeth cleaned & his baby teeth removed last Friday. He was also micro-chipped-the total was 138. He had a whole row of baby teeth on top & 2 large side fangs removed. They used isuflorine??? He is fine & his teeth are beatuifully white!!! If you really trust your vet - there is nothing to worry about! I waited while it was done & made sure he was awake. I took him in at 8:00 and was able to go pick him up at 2:00.
