My dog won't eat dry food, only licks wet food. Is she sick?

Question

My dog (Havapoo) who is now 3yrs old has suddenly stopped wanting to eat dry food. I changed her food to another dry and she wont eat it. I got some wet food and mixed it in there and now she will eat it but it seems she tries to lick all the wet food out of bowl and off dry and leave the dry. Also treats that she always went crazy for, she no longer cares for except greenies. Not sure if I should be worried or not as she is not really doing anything else out of the ordinary. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 3 months old | 8.5 lbs

I don't know if I would be necessarily worried but maybe a bit concerned. She may have a dental problem that is causing the issue. I suggest you get her to the vet for an exam to check her mouth thoroughly to be on the safe side.
