OUR PROCESS
Oral and Medical Exam
Your pet’s medical history is reviewed. Your pet will be assessed to see whether or not they will be a good candidate for this procedure. If they are not a right fit for this procedure the vet will explain why?
Probing
After all the tartar has been removed each tooth is probed for pocket depth to identify gum disease.
Oral Rinse
Before the dental cleaning process starts the oral cavity is rinsed with 0.12% Chlorhexadine to decrease the number of bacteria in the mouth.
Scaling The Teeth
We use a sharp sterile scaler removing all the calculus from every tooth under the gumline. That includes the buccal or labial, lingual interproximal and occlusal surfaces of each tooth.
Polishing
Polishing smooths out the defects and removes any plaque missed during previous steps. We use a polisher, but for those dogs who will not tolerate the polisher, we hand polish.
Irrigation
After polishing the teeth we rinse the mouth out with oral rinse solution and check all of the teeth with a blacklight where the tartar glows pink.

During the appointment, we will hand scale the front and back of the teeth, below the gumline, and finish with a polishing. You will receive a completed dental report card and we will discuss some tips and techniques for keeping your dog's teeth and gums healthy.

- Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic dogs and other animals, such as ferrets, skunks, and raccoons. It is an incurable, often fatal, multisystemic (affecting multiple organs) disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems.
- Canine parvovirus is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs. CPV is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. The virus attacks cells in a dog's intestines and stops them from being able to absorb vital nutrients. This means that a dog or puppy will become very weak and dehydrated. Vaccines can prevent this infection, but mortality can reach 91% in untreated cases.

Benefits of Our Service
Periodontal disease is dangerous for pets, and in some cases is known to take two years off of a pet’s life if left untreated. It only takes several weeks for plaque to start building up on your pet’s teeth.
If left unchecked, periodontal disease will grow rapidly. A study of 52 miniature schnauzers showed that 98% of the dogs had developed some level of periodontitis within 30 weeks of stopping toothbrushing.
- Safe for Dogs and Cats
- Affordable and Low Cost
- Preventative Care for Overall Health
- No Anesthesia Used
What you need to know
- Please note that a non-anesthetic dental exam and cleaning is just one part of a complete dental care plan for your pet. Remember, without an X-ray, we cannot see what is going on under the gum line. If we find advanced periodontal disease or any loose teeth, we will refer you to your veterinarian to complete a dental under anesthesia.
