At her annual checkup, Peggy's vet discovered she has a superficial crack in her upper left molar. It's nowhere near the root or gumline, and is causing no pain, but I'm reluctant to just leave it.
Has anyone ever pulled their dog's tooth just in case it causes trouble down the road? Is that a horrible idea for such a young dog? I was thinking we could have it done when she's under for spaying, but our vet doesn't feel it's necessary. Maybe I should look into having it sealed?
As for the cause, she didn't think Peggy's beloved Himalayan yak cheese was the culprit. More likely it was her puppy addiction to rocks.
Obviously her comfort and good health are my priority, but it does make me a little sad, as she's got such spectacular poodley chompers.
