We did brush her teeth (not often enough) but some of her problems had nothing to do with that. She's only six years old, and we were just too reluctant to have a lot of them pulled.
She's home now, seems to be doing okay. I fed her some canned potted meat, which is mushy and she ate that. She has antibiotics to take for a few days, and we are giving he a little baby ibuprofen for any pain she may have. Her teeth were such that she probably has had some pain for awhile, so she may actually be feeling better than she did.
They pulled nine teeth, one molar and all the little front teeth, upper and lower. All of her canines are still there. The remaining teeth, of course, are all polished and white now.
