JayJay went in for a dental today as he has a missing molar at the back of his mouth the bottom one has nothing to grind against. He had a dental around three months ago for the same tooth and was apparently ok during this but the bottom tooth has grown massive.
However this time he apparently didn't breathe on his own during the op and had to be given assistance. He started again after being taken off the anesthetic and came round well but obviously the news is rather concerning given we're probably looking at a dental every 3 months for him. Removal of the tooth was considered but as it's not loose the vet didn't want to risk fracturing his jaw. Is this a route they'd maybe take in the future at all or is the risk too great?
Just wondering how common this is and whether I'm right to be worried or if I'm being paranoid. JayJay apparently started eating, pooing and weeing more or less as soon as he came round and the vet didn't seem worried about the fact but it's not really what I wanted to hear.
