What to Expect During a Pet Dental Cleaning
Dental cleanings are performed under general anesthesia to ensure a thorough and pain-free procedure. During your pet’s dental visit, we:
- Conduct a full oral exam
- Take digital dental X-rays to evaluate root and bone health
- Scale and polish teeth to remove plaque and tartar
- Extract damaged or infected teeth (if necessary)
- Provide pain management and aftercare instructions
Anesthesia allows us to clean below the gumline—where most dental disease hides—and perform procedures safely without causing stress or discomfort.
Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common—and most overlooked—health issues in pets. By age 3, most dogs and cats show signs of periodontal disease, which can lead to:
- Chronic pain and difficulty eating
- Tooth loss and bone damage
- Oral infections that spread to the heart, kidneys, or liver
- Bad breath and inflammation
Routine dental care helps prevent these problems, reduces the risk of costly procedures later, and supports your pet’s overall health and longevity.
Benefits of Professional Veterinary Dentistry
Regular dental care provides lasting benefits for your pet, including:
- Fresher breath and a cleaner mouth
- Healthier gums and stronger teeth
- Early detection of oral tumors or abnormalities
- Improved comfort and quality of life
- Reduced risk of systemic infections
We also educate pet owners on home dental care, from brushing techniques to dental diets and treats.
