Dental Cleaning

After the patient has been evaluated and the history assessed, pre-anesthetic medications are individually calculated and tailored for each individual.

As soon as anesthesia is induced, a breathing tube is placed. Anesthetic monitoring is constant during the procedure. We are always within a few feet of every anesthetized patient.

After the teeth are thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, and polished, we examine every part of the patients mouth and any abnormalities are noted on the dental chart. Any recommended treatment is explained to the owner, along with the costs for that treatment. In most cases, any required treatment can be performed at the same time as the cleaning.

All patients are closely monitored as they wake up, with most patients standing up within a few minutes of completing the procedure.

At discharge, we will send you home with an after care sheet. This sheet will explain what to look for and how to take care of your pet after the procedure. Some patients are scheduled for a re-check exam as appropriate. There is no charge for these re-check exams. At any time before or after your pet's care you are welcome to call in with any questions you might have.
