Good dental care is as important for your pet as it is for you. Proper dental care not only prevents bad breath and periodontal disease but also prevents infection spreading through the blood stream to your pet's liver, kidneys and heart. This bacterial shower can lead to permanent organ damage affecting your pet's overall health.

Your pet's dental cleaning will begin with a physical examination. This is important to evaluate your pet's general health. After the physical exam, your pet is given anesthesia for a safe and painless sleep during the dental cleaning.

The first part of dental cleaning requires the removal of tartar Next, a periodontal probe checks for pockets under the gumline where periodontal disease and bad breath starts. An ultrasonic scaler is used to clean above and below the gumline.

Your pet's teeth are polished, creating a smooth surface. A fluoride treatment is applied to strengthen your pet's teeth, to desensitize exposed roots, and to decrease infection.
