Personally, I would ask. I would not allow a dental to be done on one of mine without one dedicated person monitoring VS. Way too much can go wrong.
I am going to ask my vet today about this...I know that there are some things that AAHA requires for accreditation and some things that give extra points. Dental xrays are now strongly encouraged and they get extra points for them doing them. The dental specialist I use sometimes told me a few years ago that no vet should do dentals without doing xrays because so much can be missed. I was so happy when my vet started doing them. I "think" the monitoring thing is required. I will let you know what I find out. |
I know someone was monitoring there was the vet there and another tech but I got swept away to help hold a dog while they were dealing with her wounds from a dog attack. That turned my stomach worse then the surgeries I watched. On Callie’s last dental the X-ray is what told them one of her molars needed to come out.
