| No sedation is used and no vet is examining the teeth. It is a cosmetic procedure and does not address issues under the gum line. Dental Scaling Without Anesthesia | AVDC - American Veterinary Dental College

| I don't know about any of your but I don't recall my dentist digging under my gum lines during a standard cleaning???? The people who perform this are a group of pet hygenists and they clearly say that they look at your pets teeth and will let you know if the general state of your dogs teeth requires you visit your vet. I think if your dogs mouth is in decent condition and you are looking to keep them that way, this seems like a very good idea. As I said my friend had her 3 dogs done and is really happy. |

| I just read in dog fancy that the AAHA has new mandatory dental standards. That include general anesthesia and intubation. The AAHA said that cleaning a dogs teeth with out general anesthesia is considered unacceptable and below the standard of care. There is more great info in the article. I would never put my dog through a non vet non anesthesia dental cleaning for a few reasons being restrained and put through that is stressful, scary and it might hurt, also they can't get under the gum line so they will need a real dental soon after or risk losing teeth or other issues.

| Agree on the above points^^ It can make teeth look nice, but it's simply cosmetic. Doesn't mean there's not other stuff going on above the gumline, etc.

| Not a chance I would do this. My pups go to the vet for dentals.

| My dental hygienist does! That is the whole point of going to the dentist. You may not realize it, but that's definitely what they are doing.
