Ever wonder what actually happens during a dental cleaning? Let's walk through it. 🩺
Your pet is safely anesthetized so we can do a thorough job without stress or pain. We examine every tooth and check for problems below the gum line. Ultrasonic scaling removes tartar from all tooth surfaces, including under the gums where disease starts. We polish teeth to smooth surfaces and slow future buildup. We take dental X-rays to check tooth roots and surrounding bone. Any damaged or infected teeth are addressed.
Anesthesia concerns are valid, but it's the only way to properly clean and examine teeth. We use modern, safe protocols with monitoring throughout.
