Professional dental cleanings for pets are more complex procedures than it is for their owners. Because pets do not know how to hold still, every dental cleaning performed at PPAH uses general anesthesia.
We understand anesthesia can be scary for some pet parents, which is why we always perform a physical exam & pre-operative blood work prior to surgery. While under anesthesia your pets’ vitals are monitored by our trained medical staff & anesthesia machines. With our AAHA Accredited anesthesia protocols anesthesia can be very safe.
Once your pet is asleep, a thorough oral exam is performed in which we examine each tooth and complete full mouth X-rays. We perform X-rays to make sure every tooth is healthy under the gum line. Then every tooth is scaled and polished. If the doctor discovers any additional treatments that need to be completed, they will move forward based on your wishes.
After the cleaning is complete, your pet will move to a recovery kennel with comfortable bedding. The dental technician will complete a go home packet for you to know exactly what the state of your pets teeth are. You will also receive before & after photos of your pets’ mouth with detailed post-anesthesia care.
