Pet Dental Cleanings - What to Expect?
While under general anesthesia, your dog or cat can receive a thorough dental cleaning. Goodwin Animal Hospital uses a safe, local anesthesia and monitors your pet’s heart rate, oxygen, and respiration.
Before dental care begins, blood tests are done to help uncover any underlying illnesses, and we examine the animal’s entire mouth, including lips, tongue, gums, and teeth. This assures us that anesthetizing is safe for your pet.
The procedure will include cleaning above and below the gum line and polishing of the teeth for a smooth surface. This helps create a resistance to the buildup of plaque. We also offer fluoride treatments to help strengthen enamel and reduce overall tooth sensitivity.
