A professional veterinary dental procedure evaluates and cleans areas that cannot be safely addressed while a pet is awake.
Before the dental procedure
The veterinarian examines your pet, reviews medical history, and discusses any testing recommended before anesthesia. The clinic provides instructions about food, water, medications, and arrival time.
During a veterinary dental cleaning
A professional veterinary dental procedure may include an oral examination, cleaning above and below the gumline, polishing, dental X-rays, and treatment recommendations.
Anesthesia allows the team to examine and clean safely below the gumline, protect the airway, and reduce movement and stress.
Recovery and home care
The team reviews findings, medication instructions, feeding guidance, and follow-up needs. Recovery varies depending on the procedure and whether additional treatment was performed.
