IMO that dog needs a dental 12 years old or not. With a blood panel done an informed decision can be made. Sassy has kidney disease and came through the cleaning just fine with only fluids to support her.
And IF the dog is willing to chew raw bones can knock the nasty stuff off the teeth. If the gums hurt she won't want to chew. Sassy couldn't chew when her gums hurt they are now healthy and she can clean off a beef rib just fine at 15.5 years old.
