If your veterinarian has recommended a dental cleaning for your pet, you might be wondering what that means and why it’s so important. The truth is, dental health is one of the most important parts of your pet’s overall wellbeing. Just like us, pets can develop plaque and tartar buildup that leads to painful gum disease, tooth decay, and even internal organ damage.
The tricky part is that pets are very good at hiding pain. You may not notice any symptoms until their dental disease becomes advanced. Signs like bad breath, drooling, or loss of appetite can all point to dental discomfort. That’s why routine dental care is such an important part of preventive medicine.
During a professional cleaning, your pet is safely placed under anesthesia while our veterinary team removes plaque and tartar from every tooth surface, including under the gumline. This allows us to perform a thorough oral exam, take dental X-rays if needed, and address any problem areas before they cause pain or infection. Your pet will be closely monitored the entire time to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
After a dental cleaning, many pets have more energy, better appetites, and a brighter personality. A clean mouth really does mean a healthier, happier pet.
