My dog has tartar and a mouth bump. Is it serious or can I wait for dental?

Question

Is there something that can be done this before I get her teeth cleaned? will that resolve it? It’s not bothering her & she’s having no problems but is it okay to leave it? Until like February? Like is it nothing bad or serious that needs immediate attention? No other issues in mouth except a bit of tartar build up. Also, I’ve been brushing them with enzymatic toothpaste.

That is a bit of buildup! Make sure you are using a dog-safe toothpaste as human toothpaste is actually toxic to pets. As for the lump/bump circled, it's hard to say what it is. I would keep an eye on it, and if it grows, changes rapidly, or becomes bothersome, it would be best to have your vet take a look at it sooner than your February appointment. Your vet can also schedule a dental cleaning at the same time if the bump needs to be removed.
