Just wanted to add that if you're not having xrays at the time of cleanings you're likely not discovering all... And many vets lack training in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. People are always complaining that vets don't know about nutrition but dentistry is a far worse issue. The dentist we see isn't a fan of sonicare and prefers mechanical brushing. He's also not a fan of sealants like oravet but many swear by it. I've brushed Teddy's teeth and winnys teeth at the same time for a year since their last dentals a year ago and teddy has zero tartar or gingivitis. Same food, home care, etc yet two very diff mouths.
