In this age of personal expression through unique fashion statements, I'm thinking of taking my identity to the next level.
The thing is...
I have a Pekingese named Chester. He has a very distinct, vibrant smile when he's aroused, which people constantly compliment. Due to new innovations in dental implant technology, would it be morally correct to have the dog, in turn, recieve my teeth?
The issue is not whether I should have my dog's teeth, but would it be overly selfish of me to assume that my dog would be content sporting human teeth?
Please advise.
I don't want to seem self-centered, and I want to make this a positive experience for both Chester and me.
Thank you so much!!!

Wow! If I could wave a magic wand I would make you believe this question is actually a serious plan of yours and you find a vet to extract your teeth without anesthesia just to find they don't fit a ShiTzu. You smoke too much.

I seriously hope you are joking! The dog needs HIS TEETH! not yours! And you need YOU TEETH! Why do you think animals and humans have different types of teeth? Because our food styles are different! Dogs have their teeth to tear meat up! If he had your teeth he would have problems and so would you! his smile is perfect for a DOG! Not a human!OMFG!

No! I don't believe that is even a possibility.
Dogs teeth are designed differently than ours. They are sharper and pointed to aid in tearing their food (from their wild days).
It would look ridiculous. Leave his teeth alone. it you get so many compliments about HIS teeth, WHY would you even consider this?

Not a good idea. Dogs' teeth are meant to rend and tear. They don't chew as we do when they eat, so human teeth would adversely affect his eating. Do not do this. Stay away from glue, weed, alcohol, formaldehyde, toluene and anything else that adversely affects your thinking. You have enough problems as it is.

this seems morally all right to me, it's just a question of whether it will er... work in the dog's mouth. it's really nice of you to do it, anyway.
However, I think that you should do this only if it will improve his eating abilities, etc (it probably won't, they're meat eaters y'know) If it's just for cosmetic purposes, don't do it. Even if he has crooked teeth, or whatever, you yourself described his smile as distinct and vibrant, and that it recieves lots of compliments. I think it would be mean to rob him of his uniqueness by doing that.
But seriously, if you just want to have your dog have some of your teeth purely for YOUR enjoyment, that's just weird. Make it a special collar or something.

How weird! Wouldn't that look funny a dog with human teeth. Then if you would do that you should get His teeth also? Hope your not a dentist! That's funny.

I really hope that this is a joke! LOL Could you imagine a dog with human teeth????? But, my opinion...If God wanted your pup to have human-like teeth, he would have given them to him. Leave the poor dog's teeths alone.

The part that worries me is where you say Chester smiles when he's aroused. Is that really often enough that it would merit implants???

No. It's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard and if you can find a veterinarian dentist who will agree to do it, he deserves to have his license taken away. Cruelty to animals IS a crime, you know.

Have you ever had extensive dental work done? If not, let me assure you that it is extremely painful! Please don't be foolish enough to put your pet through this! Let him have a happy doggy life!
