Last but not least, it depends greatly on your Yorkies' oral hygiene. If you brush their teeth, you may be able to lengthen the time between visits.

PS: Feeding kibble does not help to keep teeth clean, as was previously thought.
Ok, thanks. What about having them put under anesthesia every year or so?
