Has your cat ever had a tooth taken out?

Were they ok after? My cat is to get a tooth out tomorrow and I'm worried as she hasn't had an op since her getting spayed about 9 years ago!
I can't help but visualise her lying there completely helpless under anaesthetic

But it all went well. He still has his canines, but everything else was whipped out, I think there were 17 extractions, and of course that all required a longer anaesthetic. He came straight home, dried blood around his mouth, and immediately demanded food, clearing a full dish, his first proper tuck-in for some time.
I wouldn't worry about the extraction, and doubtless they will clean the other teeth at the same time. It won't be a very long procedure or a big dose of anaesthetic for one tooth, but if you were very worried about the anaesthetic you could ask the vet to do a pre-op blood test, to check kidney and liver functions.
He lived with just a couple of teeth for many years after that and ate a whole tin of cat food in a day!
I just wish I could be there to give her a massive cuddle and tummy tickle
Thanks, it went well thankfully.. I hope your cat's went OK too, give them a tickle from me (& Jess)
Will do.
It went well,Jasper came back with 5 less teeth and a £350 bill,thank god we have insurance.
I would all so make sure cat owners check the small print on their insurance details as a lot of company's don't cover cats teeth.
