• @ZenGrrrl:

    Does anyone have experience with "no anesthesia" teeth cleaning? I'm planning to take my 12-year-old in for this procedure but would welcome second opinions.

    I posted to this yesterday– Don't do it. The AMVA and the dental association say run from such procedures as you cannot get cleaned under the gums so while (like the spray stuff) it might make teeth above gums and breath better, does not do the job.


  • Excuse my ignorance but what is no anesthesia teeth cleaning, please?


  • Patty, basically they charge less, tout no anesthesia, and basically clean the teeth the best they can, above the gum line.


  • No magic then, Debra? Paying a vet for what we can do at home! Or am I being too cynical?
