These posts on the CRF thread scare the crap out of me:
Then again, someone told me today that her cats get two teeth cleanings a year at Banfield. I don't know what to think. The prospect of my cat getting a dental really scares me.
Is there a way to "test" a little bit of anesthetic on the cat to see if they react to it? There should be.

I am told my cat needs a dental. I was already worried about the risks of anesthesia; I asked the vet out of a hundred cats, how many on average do not survive the procedure....she said it depends and wouldn't give an approximate number. Reading these posts, I am terribly worried. I assume the posters were talking about cats in decent health? I start to wonder if the risks of a dental outweigh the risks of disease from bad teeth.Originally Posted by mews2much
I should post my friend kays story about how her sphynx died having a dental....I know of so many people and breeders that lost cats that way.
