There are many dogs without teeth (because of mouth/teeth dieseases, accidents etc) and they are doing well. Obviously, they must be feed soft food but apart from that there are no other concerns. When Jax is under general anaesthesia, your vet will be able to assess which teeth have to be pulled and which should be only cleaned polished. It may happen that it will be necessary to pull all his teeth out.
