DENTAL CLEANING

 

Anesthesia is required for a proper examination of the oral cavity and thorough cleaning. Periodontal disease is the most common disease of cats and dogs, it is caused by infection below the gum line; it has little to do with the calculus that is visible to you on the surface of the tooth. Untreated dental disease can lead to liver, kidney, heart disease and many others. Your pet needs to have an exam by the Veterinarian to determine the level of dental care needed for your pet.

Brushing your pet’s teeth on a daily basis is also important in maintaining your pets’ dental care; however it does not eliminate the need for professional cleanings under anesthesia. Below you will see an estimate of a general dental cleaning for your pet under general anesthesia, along with a brief description on why each item is an essential step in the dental cleaning process. Any additional needs (i.e. radiographs or tooth extraction etc) will be discussed at your pet’s exam and a more detailed estimate will be presented to you. Please contact our office to schedule your pet’s dental appointment.
