An anesthesia-free dental cleaning provides no benefit to the pet’s oral health. Scaling or scraping the teeth with an instrument only makes a tooth whiter in appearance. Think of the tooth an iceberg, we only see about 1/3 of the tooth with the remaining 2/3 below the gumline. The bacteria below the gumline quickly become pathologic and begin to destroy the tissues surrounding the tooth. It is not possible to eliminate bacteria beneath the gumline where damage is done. Scaling without proper polishing leaves the tooth surface roughened and will leave more surface area for bacterial plaque to attach to the tooth surface. Anesthesia-free dental cleanings are most dangerous because they give you a false sense of security that the pet has a clean mouth, leaving periodontal disease undetected and untreated.

It's not always asthma.
