Pet Dental Care
Part of routine care for pets includes regular dental care to prevent the many health problems that can come from neglected teeth. Pet dental care is essential to prevent infections, abscesses and lost teeth, and it is always performed to keep your pet as comfortable as possible.
Your pet will be anesthetized so that the procedure isn’t frightening or painful. Instead, your pet will stay asleep while his or her teeth are examined and cleaned. General anesthesia allows for a thorough exam and any treatments that are needed to be performed. During this time, full mouth radiographs are taken to asses the bone and tooth root health and status. The teeth are scaled, removing plaque and tartar from all surfaces of each tooth and underneath the gum line. Then, the teeth are polished and a final examination by the doctor is performed.
