Non-Anesthetic Dental Cleaning
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common health concerns of pets today because the resulting bacteria can enter the blood stream and damage vital organs. Our anesthesia-free dental program dramatically improves oral health and is a critical part of our integrative focus on Prevention. Dental disease is the number one diagnosed disease in our patients… more than skin allergies, ear problems, lameness, etc. In animals over 6 years of age it is even more common. You say, “I’ve had pets all my life, and no one has told me about this before.” There are a few reasons for that. First, our pets, like us, are living longer, which allows the bacteria in the plaque to work longer, and cause more disease. Secondly, more people are adopting small breed dogs and purebred cats, who are predisposed to dental disease.
