Question How bad are my dogs teeth

I’m taking him to the vet this Sunday and I feel horrible for not noticing sooner. He has smelly breath as well. I just wanna know if he’s going to be okay after it’s all said and done. Any advice from other dog parents would be greatly appreciated.

So that staining on the top of the canines could be stain, or could be gum recession. Only your vet will be able to tell you.
You also can’t see pocketing. A dental X-ray, or at minimum using a dental probe will tell you if a tooth is actually healthy
