Pogo is 15 and he needs a dental. I am very torn on this. I know not doing a dental can shorten his life, but at the same time doing the dental can end his life.

What is the oldest any of you have had a dog go under anesthesia?

We are going to do all the pre-blood work and a full once over by his vet to make sure, but I am very nervous about this. I also know waiting is not really an option either. He is getting older and his teeth are getting worse as I delay out of fear.
