I don't see the amount of sedation needed for the worried Yorkie Mum listed in the options.

Although I hate the intubation part (because poor Jenna comes away coughing for days afterwards) our vet says it is absolutely necessary due to the chemicals they use to help take the tartar off her teeth, which would be fatal if aspirated.

I'm pretty certain they do the x-rays too, but I don't remember seeing them this last time she was cleaned. I am curious though if anyone here has dentals done more frequently than once a year? It seems like Jenna's teeth are bad again within a month of being done, and of course her dragon breath is abominable. (She is on a specialized hard kibble diet and not allowed any chew treats.)
