You can do quite a good health check just holding your ham in your hands & gently stroking & feeling them but teeth checks do require scruffing so you need to be sure you're doing that correctly, if done the right way it doesn't really stress them & can be very brief so it's all over & done really quickly.
A little treat after usually takes their mind off it completely!
