[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Use the no sedation and it was about $350.  Plan to do it yearly.[/quote]

There is a "no sedation" option ? Can you elaborate ? TIA[/quote]

Do not do a dental without sedation!! It is not a proper dental and can cause more problems, waste of time and money. A dog's dental needs to be below the gumline which would be extremely painful with no sedation.[/quote]

Regularly sedating a dog is also dangerous.  Our dog handled it just fine.  But she's used to having her teeth brushed.[/quote]

That's all a nonsedated cleaning is though, a fancy tooth brushing/polishing. It doesn't get the tartar between the teeth and below the gum line or do a full exam of tooth roots. With our big dogs, they have only needed 1 or 2 sedated cleanings in their lifetime. A couple of times extractions were necessary during the cleaning only because issues are found during the sedated exam and cleaning.

Too much nonprofessional cleaning/scaling can erode the enamel. Human dental hygenists have even been too hard on dogs' enamel because it is so much thinner. [/quote]
