We will perform an oral exam looking at the mouth, jaws, and teeth. Bringing your pet in for regular check-ups could prevent tooth loss and oral surgery.

What do we do when we do a Basic Dental cleaning?

During the physical exam we will evaluate your pet's general health. General anaesthetic will be administered for a safe and painless teeth cleaning process. We will then remove the tarter and clean the gums with an anti-bacterial solution as well as remove infected or broken teeth.

Prevention is better than cure! Visit our Clinic and have your baby checked out. We will gladly assist in telling you more about how to brush your pet's teeth and what food and treats are available to combat plaque and tartar buildup.

Dental problems can be very painful for your pet to suffer from and the longer you wait to let us examine your baby, the more complicated it will become to treat. Dental disease can also affect other organs in the body: Bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart.

Some pets will stop eating altogether when their teeth, bone, and gums hurt badly enough. Most will find some way to keep eating. They may chew on the other side of their mouths or swallow their pellets whole. Some signs are that pets may be reluctant to hold their toys in their mouths, be lethargic, resent having their teeth brushed, have a hard time sleeping. If you witness any of these symptoms, please bring your baby to us for a thorough examination.
