I think if a dog needs a dental, he should have it done. The risk of anesthetic death is very very small. My Daisy is a high risk dog, and last year she broke a tooth so she had to have dental surgery -- she did fine. I would not cancel if the dog needs a dental. There are many benefits to doing dentals when recommended. Best wishes!
