• DENTAL CLEANING & ADVANCED DENTAL CARE
Regular professional oral examinations are important in maintaining your pet's teeth.
Upon examination of your best friend we will advise you on their dental needs. In some
cases a dental prophylaxis/cleaning or advanced care may be needed. Unfortunately,
most pets will not allow us to perform this procedures safely and efficiently while
awake. We utilize gas anaesthesia and provide continuous anaesthetic monitoring
during all dental procedures. Pre-dental blood work helps Dr. Pickett better determine
the risk of anesthesia for pet and is available for all patients and is mandatory in some
instances. Placing an intravenous/IV catheter and maintaining your pet on intravenous
fluids during a dental procedure is also an option for patients and again is mandatory in
some instances. During a dental cleaning we perform a thorough oral exam probing
every tooth for pockets and lesions. We then utilize an ultrasonic dental scaler and
polisher to clean and polish each tooth thoroughly above and below the gum line. This
process will help keep your pet's tooth surface, smooth and lustrous, making them more
resistant to plaque buildup and decay. We offer as an option OraVet , the first plaque-
prevention system for pets. This is an easy, weekly alternative to daily brushing.
