I agree totally with Russell. I do the same thing. Also, any time
one of mine is being anesthetized for any reason, such as surgery, I
tell them to check their teeth and clean if necessary. It saves some
money if they are already under anesthesia.

I have found that their teeth should be "professionally" cleaned
about every 18 months, on average.
