Yes, it is safe to have your dog's teeth cleaned by a veterinarian. While the dog will be put under general anesthesia, this carries very little risk for the vast majority of dogs. Your veterinarian will likely perform blood work prior to starting anesthesia to make sure your dog's liver and kidneys will be able to handle the anesthesia.

While cleaning the teeth, your veterinarian will also perform a thorough oral exam and deal with any infection or dental problems that are found. After a dental procedure, most dogs appear happier - they tend to eat a little better, have a little more energy and seem to be feeling better.
