Toofers should be brushed at least once a day everyday.
We use OraVet to help protect them against plaque.
Old age is not a disease. As long as preop testing is all normal, that is not the deciding factor.
My girl had a spay, liver biopsy, and dental done at the same time (while liver compromised) and she did just fine. If you're talking about adding a dental onto a loooong ortho procedure or something though, that's different. Things like spays and hernia repairs usually don't take that long. Depending on suture speed, spays can be done in about 10-15 minutes.
