Dog owners - My vet recommended I bring my dog in for a cleaning, said she has mild decay and would benefit from it. Requires anesthesia. 
Curious what you do, if anything, for teeth cleaning.

I give my dog bully sticks and that helps with keeping her teeth clean (gnawing). I also use this toothpaste with a baby brush ~1x a week
She had her teeth cleaned once and I did it cause her breath was bad; that has been her only time and she had it done at around 5. I'll likely do it again this year at age 10 🧵

Her recovery was easy; her teeth R relatively clean (no extractions, ~ 30 minutes of cleaning). The pic is after 5 years since the last cleaning.
Once they are senior dogs they want to do more bloodwork etc because of putting them to under.

It's also a big money maker for the vet too;  happy to talk more in DCs

Thanks... the money making was made me skeptical and I wasn't sure I can trust the recommendation.  She's my first dog. Of course don't want to neglect her but don't want to do unnecessary procedures and anesthesia!
