My dog's baby teeth didn't fall out and are dark. Do they need removal?

Question

I have a Chihuahua, he's almost a year old and his baby teeth didn't fall out, now I'm noticing they're turning dark, do have I to get them removed? If so about how much would it cost? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 11 months old | 6 lbs

IF there are baby teeth left behind, it is best to get them removed as they can lead to unnecessary dental problems. They trap tartar and debris and increase tooth infections and gum disease. You will have to call clinics in your are for pricing as each location is different and it depends if the teeth need to be cleaned due to tartar already or just having the teeth removed.
