Wife and I have 2 dachshunds. Both females. One, weighing 7 pounds and long pointed face has cavities on the 2 top front of her mouth and the teeth are very small. I estimate the width of the 2 teeth ...
Dachshunds are high on the list for bad teeth. Regular cleanings will help them keep them and I would do that if you can. We have had 4 little dogs, all 4 with crowded teeth and all 4 had dentals. Never had any stay all night. Our current dog is flat faced and 14, so required a little more care when putting her under, had 6 teeth removed , big molars and required stitches, but she came home approx 6 hrs post surgery with a supply of antibiotics and pain meds.
