This veterinary educational video teaches dog owners to be aware of the need to have the dog's teeth examined yearly by the vet if they want the teeth to last a life-time.

The adopted poodle is under general anaesthesia for dental extraction of the 4th premolar and other decayed teeth. The dog had no regular tooth brushing nor dental check up.   

Removal of the decayed 4th premolar tooth will remove the abscess causing the non-healing facial wound below the right eye.  

Many Singapore dog owners do not send their bad-breath older dogs for dental check up by the vet. Some go to the groomer who does some dental scaling. If yearly checked, the dog's teeth can last a life-time.
