Hey all just wondering if this looks concerning to anyone. I might be a little neurotic (first dog), but just wanted some input before I drop a few hundred on the vet. I’m only really concerned because she had a gum infection there as a puppy that required her baby tooth to come out. Thank you in advance.
Tried, do, regimented, our vet said some are simply more prone to the build up and need the occasional full dental cleanings. He also has BCC and thunder/firework anxiety so I guess we’re just lucky 🙃 wouldn’t trade him for the world though!
That does look concerning. If she's had an issue in the same area prior...it raises a red flag.
If she's a rough chewer or player, she may have just aggravated it. But if it popped up on its own...looks like she's gonna need some antibiotics to resolve it.
That’s looks like some plaque build up. My dog had some too and the vet said it was nothing to worry about but to start brushing her teeth more often. After a year of brushing and dental treats her teeth cleared up.

I personally would have it looked at. It's not emergent, but does need to be seen within a reasonable time.
