Periodontal disease if left untreated can result in life-threatening diseases that affect major organs, including kidneys, liver and heart. It's a scary thing but sometimes it has to be done (a dental cleaning) I just had one of mine done and I was a nervous wreck about it because he is so small but I knew I couldn't let it go either because that was not fair to him. Nine teeth later he has sparkling teeth but the vet did say there are a couple of pockets that I will have to keep an eye on. He is 5 yo.
