I haven't read all of this thread so apologies if I am repeating what other people have said.
My boss has a whippet that is about 13 years old. She was the smelliest dog I had ever met to the point that know body would go near her, she was only allowed in the kitchen and her bed needed washing weekly because they smelt so bad from where she had dribbled.
She was rapidly loosing weight and was very weak so she was taken to the Vet to have her teeth done. Boss was quite worried about the surgery but if it was either take the risk or let her starve to death.
The surgery went well. The vet said it was the worst mouth he had ever seen! She now only has a couple of teeth left.
That was a few weeks ago and she has since gone from strength to strength. Is slowly putting on weight and is a lot livelier (even came out for a run today!), and best of all the smell has gone. She is so much happier in herself.
So even though there is a risk involved I think it would be worth it and I'm sure your dog will be much happier after.
