Preventative dentistry is a vital component of a pet’s overall health plan. KC Animal Hospital recommends pets receive a full dental cleaning at least once per year. Annual dental cleanings can prevent tooth damage, decay, and periodontal (gum) disease, which can cause pain or even more serious health problems.
Typical components of a dental include:
- Pre-Surgical Exam
- Pre-Operative Bloodwork
- Fluid Therapy
- Dental Exam
- Dental Radiographs
- Dental scaling and cleaning
- Extractions (if necessary)
- Subgingival curettage
- Polishing
- Irrigation
