Poor Micah..My BooBoo had Stomatitis and we had just about ALL his teeth out recently.Maybe 3 months ago and he's like a new cat now.He's 16 and I really thought we were going to be putting him down.He's had 3 or 4 other surgerys done on his teeth in the past few years but they obviosly needed to take more than they thought out.He never seemed to much better after each surgery until this last one.I told my vet to take ALL if necessary out.And he left a couple in but there is no signs of Stomatitis left this time.And No bad breath for the first time since he was young.I just wish they took more out on the other teeth surgerys.So if getting teeth removed,I would tell him to take any teeth out that look iffy.Just in case.It will save you money later.Good Luck and Prayers on the way for poor Micah.
