Never had their teeth cleaned.  That said, my dogs ate a regular diet of dried, crunchy dog food, supplemented of course with various treats and things along the way.   But they always had healthy teeth and never needed cleaning.

I mean if problems develop, sure you'd want to do something, but given good healthy teeth and gums, I think it's a racket.   Dogs, like people, should be put anesthetized anymore often than absolutely necessary.

I vote it's pretty much a racket.

My wife raises Papillion show dogs and does the ultrasonic scaler (same as dentist, $150+/-) thing on her dogs and they are not asleep.  Not everyone can do this...if the dog runs/moves and you point that thing at their eye then lights out for that eye.

According to my wife if a dog's teeth are regularly brushed and cleaned every 3-6 months it will add 5 years to their life. 

Cost around Tulsa is $250 without extractions for x-rays and cleaning.

If your dog bunks with you the lack of doggie breath will make it worth doing...but at a lower price they you've been quoted..

If the dog's breath is really bad it may be a rotten tooth. Other than that I wouldn't worry about getting their teeth cleaned. One guy I worked with told me about doggie toothpaste that came in chicken flavor. That may be worth trying.

Back in 2014 we had our cat put down after she suffered a stroke and could no longer walk. She was just shy of 20 years old. She had a couple of teeth that were almost sideways in her mouth. But right up until the end she had no problem eating or drinking. After my wife noticed it she pressed on them, and the cat did not respond in any way that suggested she was in any pain. As she got older, (12+ years), we would occasionally find a tooth on the carpet. The vet suggested nothing about cleaning her teeth.

I got an ad in the mail this week. I could get my teeth cleaned, a dental exam, and x-rays all for $69.95 or thereabouts. I'm sure it would be more if they had to knock me out but the prices they get for cleaning pet's teeth is ridiculous.
