Oh Dina - you poor thing!!! I can't imagine having to make this decision. I think I would try increasing brushing and try using some of the products out there that help, like PetzLife first. I "brush" with a piece of gauze wrapped around my finger. It is much more effective for us as the girls don't fight my giner like they did the brush and I can make sure I get to all the teeth. We still use PetzLife a few times a week as well, particularly on the back teeth.
I hope you can find something that will help and avoid the anesthesia altogether. Sending positive thoughts and hugs!!!!!
