Dental care is a very important part of keeping your pet healthy. Without regular oral care, serious problems may arise. These can include: bad breath, plaque and tartar buildup, heart failure, and liver and kidney disease.
The dental procedure for your pet is similar to one that you or I would get from our dentist’s office, but there are a few differences. Pets do need to be under anesthetic, then we use an ultrasonic scaler to remove built up plaque. The doctor will address any damaged or diseased teeth or gums. A high-speed polisher is used to smooth the surface of the teeth. We then apply a waxy sealant, used to retard future plaque buildup.
The entire dental cleaning, including hospitalization for the day and anesthetic: $90
*Note – additional charges may consist of antibiotics or pain medication if your pet’s doctor feels it is necessary.
