Hi
Although not obviously painful, dental disease can be very harmful for your pet. Tartar build up on the teeth will lead to gingivitis. Bugs can then go into the blood stream and travel through your dog's body.
Those bacterias will usually stop in the kidneys, liver or even heart and trigger various problems which may only show years later.
Therefore dental hygiene is paramount to keeping your pet well and confortable for as long as possible. I recommend you consult your veterinarian. Should the dog need to have some teeth out (which sounds possible), this will have to be done under general anaesthetic.
You can request a "dental check" with a veterinary nurse. This may even be free of charge.
Thanks
