Preventing periodontal disease• Annual veterinary exams are essential to maintaining good

dental care in your cat or dog.• Daily brushing is the “Gold Standard” of dental care, even a

few days a week can make a substantial difference.• If daily brushing is not an option, ask us about our Perio

Support (probiotic that you put on their food) and Aquadent (water additive) or our various dental chews!

• Feed hard food whenever possible, it will help scale and clean the teeth as they eat.

• Yearly or bi yearly cleanings are a great way to get a complete exam of all the teeth and gums, as well as scale off the plaque that has built up on the teeth.

Your pet needs a dental, now what?• Your veterinarian will determine if your pet is in need of a

dental based on many different criteria.• Blood work will be recommended to assure your pets organs

are functioning to go under anesthesia. Usually the benefit of the cleaning will outweigh the anesthetic risk.

• A dental cleaning is a same day procedure and they typically feel better quickly especially if teeth are bad.

• Your pet will be sedated, teeth and gums examined, teeth will be scaled with an ultrasonic scaler, polished and fluoride will be applied.
