the non-anesthetic is good for routine but it does not get under the gum line where all the problems are and yorkies tend to be a little more hyper at least mine are and if they are not calm damage of gum can happen and it is very stressful on dog as they do not understand what is going on like we as humans do so if your dog is calm great but you still need professional cleanings definitely if inflamed gums, bad breath, and loose teeth |
