Chihuahua teeth...vet recommends?

[chrstnhsbndfthr]

We just had a little girl Chihuahua join the household who has terrible teeth problems. (She smells rotten and her teeth are almost black.) 

Can anything be done? Is there a local vet who has done work like this?  Will she likely lose her teeth?


I have seen a toothless poodle and would not wish that on any dog, but not sure she can live like this either.

Know of a similar scenario with a cat. Cost #2K in extractions and cureatage and that was YEARS ago. Good luck with your wallet.

Okay, I appreciate that, thanks. They have helped with other dogs for us before. I just did not know they did teeth work too. I am hearing thtat this is a pretty common issue with the breed, but our Chihuahua has not had any issues with his teeth, so this problem with our little girl is new to us.
