I don't think you are being overprotective. I would have blood work done first and If that comes back good I would have er teeth done and when she recuperates from the denal I would spay her. Ther is a lot of bacteria in the mouth. I am oneo thosepeople who has to take antibiotics prior to just having my teeth cleaned.
