Q: What happens during my pet’s dental cleaning?

We will perform a thorough dental exam and cleaning while your pet is under general anesthesia. The exam includes charting teeth, probing for gum recession, and full mouth diagnostic dental x-rays followed by cleaning, polishing and fluoride application. While your pet is under anesthesia, they will be constantly monitored with advanced monitoring equipment to ensure they remain safe and stable. Blood tests will also be performed prior to the anesthesia to better assess safety for the procedure.
