I'm aware I will get some criticism on this.. but I'm willing to take the well-deserved abuse for being this neglectful. My 12 year old pom/chi mix has a heart mumur so I've never professionally had her teeth cleaned (fear of anesthesia). I use to brush them, but haven't in recent years.
So... she had some intense tartar buildup that I noticed last night. I chipped a lot of it off, and lost one back tooth that was rotten in the process. She has a lot of brown gunk on the gum line that I can't scrape off.
Otherwise, she is healthy. I brush her, clip her nails, and she is bathed regularly. I just checked out of brushing her teeth.

I'm looking for advice of what to do next. Granted, the obvious answer is to take her to a vet. Which, she does see regularly. But (and don't roast me too hard on this.... I chose to have the responsibility of a pet, so I financially take care of her in that aspect) I'm currently in a situation where money is not easily accessible.
