my dd is going in tuesday for teeth cleaning with board certified dentist and my demi had horrible teeth and had to have 27 teeth removed for periondontal disease and she did not pant like that nor is my dd and she is 5 - do not do dental unless you have done full blood panel and urine checked to make sure nothing else is wrong. Also i would go to bc dentist if there is one in the area. Ours does not do pre - antibiotics as he does not feel it is necessary and says antibiotics are way over used as they do a shot of antibiotics during procedure and give it after dental as well and he says that is enough. Here is our dentist

make sure they do propofol, isoflurine, iv fluids and catheterization -- all of this and pre blood work and urine and do free catch urine at home not the needle in bladder
