Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my pet have a dental cleaning?
Most pets benefit from an annual dental exam and cleaning. Pets prone to dental issues may need more frequent visits.
Why does my pet need anesthesia for dental procedures?
Anesthesia ensures your pet stays still and comfortable during cleaning and X-rays, allowing a thorough exam without stress or pain.
What are the signs of dental disease in pets?
Bad breath, discolored teeth, drooling, pawing at the mouth, or reluctance to eat hard foods are common indicators.
Can I brush my pet’s teeth at home?
Absolutely. Daily or frequent brushing with pet-safe toothpaste is a great way to reduce plaque buildup.
How do you manage pain if my pet needs tooth extractions?
We use local anesthetics, safe pain medications, and sometimes nerve blocks to keep your pet comfortable during and after the procedure.
