Aside from the meds used, the most important thing is that one person be dedicated to monitoring the pup that is anesthetized. It is a very good question to ask the vet...WHO monitors the anesthesia. If it is the person doing the dental, RUN.
Do you know if A&M requires a referral in order to have teeth cleaned? I would think so. I know there is a doggie dentist somewhere near Round Rock that I could check out.

Believe me, when she gets a cleaning, it will be done under general anesthesia with the proper monitoring. The other way is way too scary.
