My maltese has two rows of teeth. Some of them are her baby teeths that never came out. It makes her breaths?

stinks. They are somewhat wobbly but since she doesnt like to chew on any toys and treats they arent falling off. Her teeths are crooked and like i said her breath smells bad!! Like rotten fish. Its unbearable. My question is can it be possible for me to take her teeth out by myself? Or do i need to take her to the vet to have it done. Or should i just let if falls off by itselfs? She will be one year next month and their not falling out.


--She was a dog from a puppy mill and i have spent well over $3,600 trying to save her life. Skin problem, yest infections,ear infections etc.

i think its really sweet and really kind of you to spend so much on her especially because of were she came


from..





my poodle x has terrible breath to. it can be fixed if you brush her teeth every day. gum disease is really bad and can lead to heart problems take her to the vets for her check up and you can ask the vet then!
Reply:If she is already one, they most likely will not fall out on their own. You can not do this by yourself either.





She needs to see a vet, he can pull the retained puppy teeth, and make sure there are not other dental issues that would be causing the bad breath. She will have to be put under anasthesia (sp?) to have this done.





If she hasnt been spayed yet, the vet may be able to pull her teeth while she's being spayed, so she only has to go under once.
Reply:if you have any problems with your pet, you should definitely go to the vet, since they are professionals and they know what they're doing. the cause of the bad smell should be because of the tartar buildup in her teeth, to alleviate that you could brush them for her. i would wait a bit longer and see if they come out on their own and encourage her to eat treats and to chew on toys and see if that helps with the process, so that they will fall out naturally and you won't have to intervene.
Reply:If she isn't already spayed, the vet can remove them at the time she is spayed, and it will cost far less.


They NEED to be removed.


The bacteria that is making her breath foul can actually kill her
Reply:take her to the vets if ur really worried u dont want to give her an infection but if shes only one give her time to grow n let them fall out them selves it may not even b the teeth that are causing the bad breath look at wot ur feeding her. i have a maltese to n his teeth all fell out on there own but he likes chewing bones n playing with his toys maybe try her on chicken necks there really good for her teeth
