It’s not just about clean teeth; poor oral
health seriously affects a pet’s overall health.
Periodontal disease has been linked to higher risk of heart,
kidney and liver disease. It
is not uncommon for pet owners to overlook their pets teeth as they are
usually hidden by the lips and in some cases a tongue that is always
trying to kiss you.
So here is a quick tip: try to “Flip a Lip”.
Do you see or smell any dental
disease?
Common signs of dental disease
- Bad breath
- Yellow or brown tartar on teeth
- Sore mouth
- Difficulty eating
- Loose teeth or tooth loss
- Pawing or rubbing the mouth
- Bleeding gums
- Salivating
Call today to schedule your
FREE oral exam to see if your pet qualifies
for a
Non-anesthetic or general dentistry.
Some pets may qualify for a Non- Anesthetic Dental.
This is offered the second Monday of every month.
The first Non-Anesthetic Dental is $180(oral exam is required
before scheduling). An
experienced hygienist will wrap your pet in a love burrito which allows
them to clean the teeth on the inside, outside, and especially under the
gums. Then the teeth
are polished, leaving them pearly white.
This is a good practice for mild tarter accumulation or for
maintenance after a general anesthetic dentistry.
A dental prophylaxis (cleaning) starts at $350.
This includes an IV catheter and fluids, antibiotics, general
anesthesia, and the teeth cleaning and polishing.
Your pet will need to be fasted the night before and arrive in
the clinic between 7am and 8am.
The Doctor will then do a physical exam to make sure that the heart and
lungs sound good before going under anesthesia.
Then we will place an IV catheter, and your pet will go under
anesthesia. Once under anesthesia
an endotracheal tube is placed to protect the air way while under
anesthesia. This allows our
highly trained technician to clean the teeth on the inside, outside, and
under the gum line without getting tarter or water into the air way.
Cleaning the teeth in such a manner helps prevent systemic
disease to the heart and kidneys.
Once all the teeth are clean we make sure that they are healthy.
If extractions are need we would then remove dead or damaged
teeth before polishing. Polishing fills in the microscopic holes that
can cause tarter build up. It
also keeps your pets teeth looking pearly white.
*There may be additional charges if extractions are needed. *(an
estimate can be provided during the Oral Exam)
Your pet will go home between 4-6pm |
