Endotracheal tubes are used in dental procedures so the additional risk would be minimal with monitoring. I would not let laryngeal paralysis stand in the way of a needed procedure.
I don't agree with ppine. Generalized statements that don't consider each individual, their health status and the reasons for the recommended procedures are worthless.
If there is a specific reason for the procedure other than "routine cleaning" I'd have no issue recommending it. I'd have to see a serious dental issue to recommend that in a 15 year old lab.
