Canine tooth health is quite important.

Or a poochini may have to lose a few teeth because of how bad they were neglected before arriving at a safer home.

This could have been a worse procedure only if he lost all his teeth.  As it is......  It's definitely not what I'd hoped to achieve.

EDIT: Well, they pulled 7 of them out of his muzzle. And WOW is he neither happy nor 'with it' in the slightest right now, courtesy of the anaesthetic.
