Did you know?
- Bad breath in dogs and cats can be a sign of dental disease,
- Daily brushing of your pet’s teeth can prevent some of the tartar buildup, but will not eliminate it. Professional dental cleaning is the best way to safely remove the buildup of bacteria and tartar on your pet’s teeth.
- Drooling, picking up and dropping food, and not eating can be signs of a sore mouth. An oral examination by one of our veterinarians is the first step to making your pet more comfortable.
- Some pets need to have their teeth cleaned every six months while others may go years until they need a cleaning, but your veterinarian will be able to tell you the severity of your pet’s dental disease.
- Some pets never lose their deciduous, or baby teeth, and these may need to be extracted.
- All pets undergoing a professional dental cleaning will be under anesthesia. The ultrasonic scalers we use vibrate and make loud noises which could scare awake patients. This is the safest way to clean your pet’s teeth. All pets are closely monitored throughout the entire procedure.
