My mom's Dog have rotten teeth and my Vet won't took them off

Appreciate the question—let's unpack this. Having a dog with rotten teeth is definitely a concern, as dental health can impact their overall well-being. There could be a few reasons why your vet chose not to remove the teeth just yet. Sometimes, vets may delay extractions if they believe your dog isn't stable enough for anesthesia due to age or underlying health conditions. Alternatively, your vet may be considering other treatment options, like antibiotics or addressing other health issues first.



At home, you can help manage your mom's dog's discomfort by offering soft food instead of hard kibble, which can be painful to chew. Keeping their mouth clean with gentle brushing or dental wipes is helpful if they'll tolerate it. Watch for signs like excessive drooling, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, or bad breath, as these can indicate ongoing dental problems and potential infections.



It’s important to address severe dental issues as they can lead to further complications like infections spreading to other parts of the body. I suggest setting up a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can provide more tailored advice and help you decide on the next best steps for your dog's dental health.
