The following are signs that your dog or cat may have a problem in his mouth and should be checked by a veterinarian:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Inflamed gums
• Tumours in the gums
• Cysts under the tongue
• Loose teeth

Dentistry is performed at the clinic Monday to Friday in the mornings.  Patients are dropped off between 8-9 am and they return home the same day between 4-6pm.  
All of our dental procedures include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, full mouth dental x-rays,  a general anesthetic, intravenous fluids, and antibiotics/pain meds if needed. 

Dental X-rays

Prior to the teeth cleaning, our technicians will take a set of x-rays.  Since the majority of a cat or dogs tooth sits below the gumline, this allows the vets to look for problems developing that we cannot see with the naked eye. 

The Cleaning

Our dental cleaning is very similar to what you would experience at your own dentist.  We use dental probes and hand scalers to initially examine the mouth followed by a high speed electric scaler to remove all tartar present.  After we do a complete polishing and a antiseptic rinse.   While the vet performs the dental, the technician is charting the teeth and monitoring the anesthetic.

Before and After

The difference a dental can make can be huge to a pet.  The aftercare is just as important.  We have many options to maintain those pearly whites from dental diets, chews, brushes, rinses and more!
