Poppy had retained deciduous teeth, too - I was advised by a friend who breeds papillons to wait until she was 12 months before having them pulled, as long as they weren't distorting her bite. One came out at about 9.5 months, one at nearly 11 months. They were only wobbly for a day or two. I took especial care with tooth cleaning, etc, and there don't seem to be any long term effects from leaving them. I was glad I waited - any anaesthetic is a risk.
