I certainly understand your fears, i too went through the same thing with my Ash, he is around 13 yrs old maybe older, i was worried how it would go,everything went fine,however he was at a point it was necessary to have his dental done, or he was going to suffer, and have repeated infections in his mouth, he ended up loosing two teeth,and of course with older cats they always do a full blood test, and hydrate the cat before hand, also my Ash has a heart murmur so that was even more of a concern for me,they are very professional and make sure they give him just the right dosage, and he sailed through it, alas we discovered he had early CRFailure,but still it is better to know than not,however it was not due to Ash's teeth that he has CRF, which i was worried about, just simply his old age,good luck i am sure kitty will be just fine.

My Storm will be 13 in Jan. and he had his teeth cleaned in May of this year. He did just fine and even needed to have a few small teeth extracted. I think he's had his teeth cleaned 2-3 other times before and he's never had any problems. Before this last teeth cleaning, he wasn't eating well so I knew that something was wrong. I'm sure that Moon will be just fine. Good luck.

There isn't anything that I can add to Catlady711's post; it's really excellent. I just want to add that my Pigeon was 18 when she last had her teeth cleaned and she came through just fine, didn't even lose any teeth! Good luck and please keep us updated.
