Guest BrianRke Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) My senior guy, Daytona(10) is going to the vet tomorrow for his first(pretty sure) dental. He has been with me for about 15 months now and I've finally mustered the courage to have it done. I feel like I have a knot in my stomach.

3greytjoys Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I completely understand. Please try not to worry too much... Daytona needs your calm, happy, loving energy. We've had several successful dentals recently, two of whom were 10 year olds (one was high risk). One 10 y.o. didn't require any extractions, but the other had 11 extractions. The vet, nor I realized so many extractions would be required until in surgery. (I knew tooth brushing was becoming impossible on molars on one side, so I expected a few extractions. Also, painful teeth = slowed painful eating.) Both hounds feel so much better now. BTW, a dog-safe dental oral rinse is great to use during the week or two until brushing can begin again. (We happen to use C.E.T. Oral Rinse, but any dog oral rinse is better than nothing.) Positive prayers for Daytona, and for you...

Guest BrianRke Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Daytona is home safe and sound!!! He is very happy and bouncy. He did really well, no extractions, just some mild plaque and worn/discolored teeth. Thanks for all the well wishes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3greytjoys Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yea, good boy Daytona!! Outstanding dental report!! It's good that he had a thorough professional dental to clean deeply under the gumline. Now you can feel confident that oral bacteria build-up isn't damaging his internal organs. Wishing you and Daytona a long, healthy life together!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
