Hi folks my older girl Topaz who is now 11, has a lot of muck on her teeth at the base especially the canines, she went in to have them cleaned a while ago and came out minus 17, I was gobsmacked, he said the gums were receding around so he removed them??. Anyway she has the yellowy brow plaque, and its pretty hard , sometimes it will shell off with a bit of help, but Topaz is extrememly mouth shy as she had lip fold issues and sore lips for a while until an op solved it... Because of her age I am reluctant to go to the vets and have her anesthetised for the procedure, but I am desperate to get them clean as she gets sore gums.....anyone had/used anything that has helped, I have tried brushing etc, but it wont budge .....help!
