My seniors live to 12 years-17 years old....at age 14, how is the condition of their teeth? I would imagine if you have been doing dentals all this time, hopefully their teeth are in reasonably good condition, with the attention they have routinely gotten up until this point.
I can only say what I would do in your place....at the wonderful age of 14, I personally would let the dental ride, as long as their teeth are in reasonably good condition. This is JUST for me and MY own peace of mind....I would never get over it if anything DID happen to my babies, because of getting teeth cleaned, especially if teeth had been well managed all those years. I have several 15- 17 year olds that I just use antibiotics on, prophylactically....that is because I could never get over it if something did happen under anesthesia..... If their teeth were in horrific condition, and they were half that age, there would be no hesitation....a good teeth cleaning would be done. |
