Hi, I wonder what Dr Falconer thinks about Pet Wellbeing's "Young at Heart" & "Healthy Gums"? I've been using both on my 9 yo, 8# Pomeranian, level 3 heart murmur with bad teeth situation (so scared to put under for cleaning) for about 2.5 wks.
Thanks so much for your great, informative site Dr!

Hey Kathryn,
I think you're barking up the wrong tree, to borrow an appropriate phrase. This tooth may well be perfectly normal. It's the gum that's showing proliferative growth. Gum tumors are not unusual in dogs. Google it. What you do with this is up to you, but surgery is but one (suppressive) answer.
