I know, maybe a glass of wine or two. Think about the pets we had years ago, heck I never had dental cleanings (back then). Never mind the family dog.

I think the vets hesitate to recommend routne cleanings, xrays, until there are signs of trouble.
They really can’t tell, until they do xrays, but, inflammation to the gums is always a red flag,
no matter how good the teeth look below the gum line.
