Dental Clean

Good oral hygiene is crucial for their overall well-being. A regular pet dental clean is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. We design comprehensive dental services to prevent dental diseases and ensure your pets live happy, pain-free lives.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our Dental Clean Services

We offer thorough dental cleaning services that include:

  • Pre-Dental Examination: A comprehensive oral exam to assess your pet’s dental health and identify any issues.
  • Scaling and Polishing: Removal of plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. This is then folllowed by polishing to smooth the tooth surface and discourage further plaque formation.
  • Dental X-Rays: Advanced imaging to evaluate the health of the teeth and jaw below the gum line. This helps identifying any hidden problems.
  • Extractions if Necessary: In cases where a tooth is severely damaged and beyond repair, we can perform extractions to prevent further pain and infection.
  • Personalised Dental Care Plan: After the cleaning, we’ll provide recommendations for at-home dental care and schedule follow-up visits as needed.

Additionally, our team uses state-of-the-art dental equipment and follows strict protocols to ensure your pet’s dental procedure is safe, effective, and as comfortable as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Can I brush my pet’s teeth at home?

Absolutely! We encourage regular at-home teeth brushing and can provide guidance on the best techniques and products to use.

How often does my pet need a dental clean?

The frequency of dental cleans can vary based on your pet’s age, breed, and overall dental health. We generally recommend an annual dental exam and cleaning, but we’ll tailor our recommendations to suit your pet’s specific needs.

Is dental cleaning safe for my pet?

Yes, dental cleaning is safe. We conduct a pre-dental exam and use anesthesia to ensure the procedure is pain-free and as safe as possible for your pet.

What are the signs of dental problems in pets?

Bad breath, difficulty eating, drooling, and visible tartar on the teeth are common signs. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a dental check-up.

What happens if dental issues are left untreated?

Untreated dental problems can lead to pain, tooth loss, and more serious health issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental care is essential for preventing these complications.
