If your dog or cat has red and swollen gums along with buildup of tartar on the tooth, we will perform a professional dental cleaning to remedy these problems! We will first test your pet’s blood to make sure your dog or cat is healthy enough to be anesthetized for the dental procedure. Once your pet is under anesthesia, we will take whole mouth x-rays to uncover any lurking problems that may not be visible to our eyes. We will meticulously clean the teeth including a very important step of cleaning below the gum-line to prevent periodontal disease from progressing. After the procedure is over, we will educate you on home remedies that can be done in between dental cleanings!

Indications that your pet may need dental surgery include bad breath, refusing to eat hard food or treats, jaw chattering,…, pawing at their mouth, excessive drooling and swelling around the face. It’s necessary to first perform a thorough dental exam to evaluate the scope of the problem and to run blood and urine tests to be sure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.
