What Is a Pet Dental Cleaning?

A pet dental cleaning is a veterinary procedure performed under anesthesia to thoroughly clean your pet’s teeth and gums. We remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish the teeth, and examine for any signs of dental disease. This comprehensive approach helps prevent oral health issues that could affect your pet’s heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated.

When Does Your Pet Need a Dental Cleaning?

If your pet has visible tartar, inflamed gums, bad breath, or trouble eating, it may be time for a dental cleaning. These signs are often early indicators of periodontal disease, which can cause pain and lead to more serious health problems. Regular dental cleanings help us detect and treat issues early, keeping your pet happy, healthy, and smiling.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Cleaning:

🐾 Yellow or Brown Tartar Buildup

🐾 Difficulty Chewing or Dropping Food

🐾 Foul-Smelling Breath

🐾 Red or Bleeding Gums

🐾 Excessive Drooling

🐾 Loose or Missing Teeth

How to Prepare for a Pet Dental Cleaning

Before the cleaning, your pet will undergo a physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure it’s safe to proceed. We’ll discuss fasting instructions and walk you through the entire process so you feel confident in your pet’s care. Our goal is to make the experience as stress-free and safe as possible for both you and your pet.
