| dental cleaning I was wondering.......how often do you get your yorkie's teeth cleaned by a vet? Hailey had her first dental cleaning 2-3 years ago(she's now 5 years old) and the vet recommended i get her teeth cleaned again soon. I was so worried the first time she had it done because of the anesthesia and now i'll have to go through that again. |

| The general recommendation is once yearly (although that average varies from 6 months to 2 years). Some Yorkies could probably use a cleaning after about 3 months and some don't need one for years. Depends on a lot of factors - usually the most important of which is home care. If there is build up and the vet says it's time, then it's best to go ahead with it (after blood work of course).

| Mine get it done yearly. I have one going next Friday to have her's done. This will be the first time I will be bothered by it since she just turned 14. All her blood work is great. I always have this done a week before.
