It depends on the degree of gum disease. There can be generalized health issues with severe gum infections that would warrant the risk of doing a dental in a 15 year old lab. Your vet is probably the best one to discuss this with you, let them know your concerns and they really need to convince you of the benefits, if they are in fact worth the risk.
