Hi,
just registered today but did look at lots of info here in the past. I took my guy (Dexter) to have his teeth cleaned yesterday at the vet. I was so scared all day. He's 4 and healthy but with anethsia you never know!
Everything went perfect - he did not need any extractions. His teeth are back to clean and white and I will start brushing them again to keep them that way. $550!!.. yikes. I almost didn't go ahead with the cleaning because of some negative info I read on the web about the procedure, but I am really glad I did. The vet said it will save his teeth and help his health.
Look forward to sharing info and photos on this great forum.
