I think you should save your money and get a full dental, and in the meantime use the products like Petzlife and Healthy Pet that help slow the plaque from forming.
Wow that is horrible!

As for this type of procedure, I also feel it needs to be properly done by your vet under anesthesia. When the time comes that mine will need a dental I would not hesitate to trust my vet to intubate and properly clear their teeth.
