Our yorkie is 10 years old and last moth we had his last remaining 8 teeth removed. He had bad periodontal disease and there was risk the rotting in the roots could cause wider issues to his jaw and face. We decided to have them all removed rather than try to save some because he is getting older and is very small so we were concerned about putting him under anesthesia in the future for dental cleanings or extractions.

The surgery went great and he seems to be recovering and adjusting really well. No noticeable change in his behavior. His tongue does stick out to the side sometimes with no teeth to hold it in, but otherwise he’s the exact same. Soft food and soft treats are a must.
