No, there's no other reason for the dog to be sedated when getting their teeth cleaned. Are we sedated when we go to the dentist?

I'm sure it's uncomfortable for the dog, but if it really hurts they will squirm.

BTW the place I suggested actually insist that you stay for the first part of the cleaning. The lady wants you to see while she explains what she's doing.
Yeah his teeth and gums are bad and some needs to be pulled apparently. Im in a dilemma
1. Sedate my dog and work on his dental and possibly face health complications (senior dog thats never had surgery)
2. Leave his teeth and face fatal problems like liver and heart failure

I will probably go with option 1..Thoughts?
Also does anyone have a recommended vet they trust?
