Dentistry
Evaluationof
the teeth is an important part of your pet's annual physical
examination. If tartar accumulation, tooth or gum disease is noted,
then a dental cleaning should be scheduled for your pet. This will
involve anesthetizing the animal, then cleaning its teeth with an
ultrasonic dental scaler, which removes mineralized tartar from the
teeth. The teeth are then polished smooth and a protective coat of
fluoride is applied. Loose teeth will be extracted.
Just like people, regular dental care prolongs tooth life,
improves the breath, and protects against internal bacterial
infections in your pet. Owners will be informed about what they can
do at home to promote dental health in their pet. These measures
will increase the intervals between dental
cleanings.
