The teeth and roots are being reabsorbed into her gums, the only way
to fix it is pull the teeth and make sure to get all of the root out,
otherwise it's basically like doing nothing and very painful.

This vet definitely has experience with the disease. Eventually, I will
go to a vet dentist if whole mouth extraction is necessary. I just don't
have the money right now and the vet feels that the three teeth need to
be removed immediately.

Nancy,
Here is an article on what your vet is saying your baby has:
http://www.vin.com/VINDBPub/SearchPB/Proceedings/PR05000/PR00066.htm
If your vet is right and your kitty has FORL (Feline Odontoclastic
Resorptive Lesions), it is a very painful disease and really needs to be
treated.
Not trusting vet's opinions is a good rule of thumb. The lack of
consistency is shocking, not to mention how many vets will throw up
their arms and give up when a cat tests pos for either fiv or felv. I
only use my vet's opinions as part of the means to guide my decisions.
Research, researc
uch vets do
vary in their approach to FELV (also FIV). I never trust a vets opinion, I
always research it if possible. But then vets can vary in a lot of ways.

An average cat needs to eat about one 5.5 oz can of food each day..
If she is eating much less than that than that explains the weight
