Because proper dental cleaning involves scaling tartar right at and above the
gumline, as well as
probing all teeth for any signs of gum recession or tooth root decay, your pet will need to be
under anesthesia.
Step 1 — Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safety; anesthesia; examination of the mouth Step 2 — A Certified Veterinary Technician uses hand tools to remove tartar and
probe for gum disease Step 3 — An ultrasonic scaler is used to remove plaque and tarter below the
gumline Step 4 — The teeth are polished Step 5 — Flouride is added to protect the teeth Step 6 — The pet wakes up
under the supervision of a veterinarian, and goes home with a dental care plan to keep teeth healthy & pearly white!
