Miles had a much needed dental cleaning on Monday, and he unfortunately lost a few teeth in the process, including our beloved snaggle tooth. I prolonged the procedure for far, far too long because I was irrationally concerned with my senior kitty going under anesthesia, but my vet finally told me (nicely) to suck it up and get it over with.
So, of course, I feel like he lost some teeth due to my negligence in delaying the procedure. Our vet said that it had nothing to do with that, and that he just wasn't born with the best teeth, but I can't help but feel that if he had a dental cleaning earlier, his snaggle tooth could have been saved.
He's recovering well, but is absolutely pitiful. You can tell he's not fully himself, and that his mouth feels off to him. Hopefully he adjusts soon. :(
