Pet Dental Cleanings
If early or advanced dental disease has been detected by your veterinarian, a professional dental cleaning is highly recommended. Dental cleanings involve full anesthesia, allowing our veterinary team to conduct a deep and thorough cleaning of your pet’s teeth. Our facilities offer industry-leading anesthesia, pain management, and veterinary dental care technology.
Dental Cleaning
On the day of your pet’s dental cleaning, the doctor will start by performing:
- A full physical exam to evaluate your pet’s general health.
- A blood panel to check blood cell counts and vital organ functions.
- A complete blood chemistry profile to check vital organ function the day of the procedure.
Exam & Bloodwork
After the exam & bloodwork, all pets will then receive:
- Advanced anesthetic monitoring by a dedicated technician whose only job is to watch and record your pet’s vital signs while they are under anesthesia
- A thorough dental cleaning using an ultrasonic scaler to clean away tartar both above and below the gum line, as well as a teeth polishing to create a smooth surface.
- An oral exam using a periodontal probe to check for pockets along the gum line, enamel defects, furcation exposure, fractured/broken teeth, root exposure, loose/mobile teeth, and missing teeth.
- An exam looking for evidence of tooth resorption, a painful condition in which the body breaks down its own teeth and turns them into bone.
- If any dental abnormalities are noted in your pet’s mouth, a digital dental x-ray will then be taken. The doctor will then determine if any teeth need to be extracted.
Extractions
If a dental extraction is deemed necessary, our team will provide the following:
- A nerve block to prevent pain prior to the necessary oral surgery.
- To avoid discomfort in the days following the extractions, patients will be sent home with pain medication.
