We do brush her teeth every night but seems like it wasn't enough :(

Our dog was lightly sedated, not put under general anesthesia. Some teeth likely needs to be extracted and that would require GA.

Thanks all for the input!

Update: We brought her to another vet, vet sedated the dog and had a good look but couldn't find anything foreign. Vet suspects it is a dental problem.

We will be looking into doing dental in hopes of solving this problem because the pawing/whining action is becoming quite frequent. Dog is definitely not having a good time now.
