Dental/teeth removal advice.

Hi, Fudge had a dental on 28th of March because her teeth had grew too long. She needs another one right now, her teeth have overgrown greatly in under 8 weeks. She never showed any signs either time of them being overgrown, it was just my gut instinct that told me to get her checked. She still eats, drinks and acts normal....right now she's bolting around her run. I'm wondering whether it would be better to have her top teeth removed rather than have to have a dental every few weeks. She gets really stressed being taken to the vet :cry: I will discuss it with my vet today when Fudge goes in but I would like the opinions of others who have dental buns before I make a decision.
 
If you get any incisors removed, then you have to get the opposing ones removed too.

It can make a huge difference to the uality of life depending on the problems, but the post op care needs to be very intense to help them recover.
