I haven't recently had this done although Tasha may need to at some point, her front teefers are great but the very back teeth are really building up some tartar. I can brush them but when I get the scraper out she clamps her mouth shut and I have a hard time trying to scrape it.

Cody had an abscessed tooth that he had to go into surgery and have removed when he was around 10 years old. Believe me I was very nervous, but he got through it just fine and perked right back up. I think as long as the blood tests are okay there shouldn't be any problem!
