I'm glad to hear that Oscar's dental went well. My poor Storm is also scheduled for a dental cleaning and many of his teeth will also be extracted. My vet said that he'll feel much better once his nasty teeth are gone. At his annual check up, his heart sounded great and his blood work and thyroid T4 also all came back normal. So for a 16 year old, I guess he's doing pretty well. He goes in on April 2nd and my vet will be overseeing his dental/extractions. Now I just need to put some money aside for this huge bill coming up. I hope that Oscar's teeth and gums will remain well for many years to come.
