Which do you think is the greater risk to a pet: Anesthesia, or walking around with a mouth like this? This is a photograph of a dog seen by veterinarian Dr. Je...nny Beard at Flat Creek Animal Clinic in Alabama. This owner really loved his dog, and declined dentistry not because he wouldn't spend the money, but out of fear of anesthesia. His dog not only suffered for years with painful dental disease, but ultimately died of heart and kidney disease that may have been caused or worsened by the infection in his mouth. February is National Pet Dental Health Month, and I would like each of you to really consider, when you weigh the risks of anesthesia, the very real risks of either not taking care of your pet's dental health at all, or relying only on cosmetic procedures like "anesthesia-free dental cleanings," which can't deal with decay below the gums, gum disease, abscesses, infections, or the other dangerous dental problems so common in dogs and cats today. My family and I are very serious about caring for our pets' teeth, including daily brushing (by my wife, Teresa!), but we still have their teeth cleaned by a veterinarian under general anesthesia when necessary. I hope you will take this message to heart, and do the same.
