Dental Procedures
Pets have teeth too, and just like ours without proper brushing plaque and tartar build up. You may notice a foul odor from your pets mouth, this is an accumulation of bacteria in the mouth. Severe periodontal disease (gingivitis) will result if the dental disease is not addressed. If this bacteria is allowed to linger it can be deposited in the bloodstream and cause infection elsewhere in the body, most typically in the heart. Our clinic utilizes the same instruments your dentist does. We use an ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque and tartar and then polish with a high speed polisher. Occasionally, severe disease in the mouth causes the tooth roots to break down requiring teeth to be extracted (removed). This entire process is referred to as a dental. A dental is performed under general anesthesia and the same rules apply as for a surgery.
Please follow the instructions below for all surgical patients:
- Take up all food by midnight the night BEFORE surgery.
- Your pet can have water the day of surgery, but NO FOOD.
- Cats must arrive in a carrier.
- Dogs must arrive on a leash.
