Extra teeth are more prone to cavities and infection, sometimes the baby teeth don't fall out naturally as they should. Veterinarians always recommend removal during a routine procedure or cleaning to avoid potential problems.
I needed couple of root canals over the past few years....the only thing that stopped the pain and inflammation prior to the procedure each time was antibiotics. I can't imagine another way.

Whoa, Nora. She's got cancer, and they think pulling teeth is justified in the face of that? Doesn't sound like they are looking too holistically here. If she had significant trouble eating or had horribly inflamed gums because of these teeth, perhaps it'd be justified.
I suspect this is a non-issue compared to the elephant in the room (cancer), and it'd be a tough argument to make to see how multiple extractions and antibiotics would be a plus for her cancerous state of illness.
Realize I'm a bit removed…
