I'm sorry, I didn't see your post in the other forum. Li'l Girl has had her teeth cleaned, as have two of our other dogs, and the cat. All came through it fine.
Our Rhodesian mix, Traveler, has had dental problems and has had two teeth pulled. The vet didn't pull the 2nd one as soon as he should have, and Traveler got very thin and his liver enzyme readings went sky high. We put him on Vitamin E and Milk Thistle therapy, and had the tooth pulled. Traveler's health improved quickly.
So, I say if your dog needs dental work do it. Dental problems really can cause other health issues.
