What Happens When My Pet Has A Dental Cleaning?

Your pet should have had an exam, and bloodwork testing, to determine if your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia. Once the pet arrives at the clinic, he/she is premedicated, anesthesia is administered. When the pet is under anesthesia, we use a tool to scale the teeth to remove the tarter, teeth are polished, x rays are taken, extractions are performed if needed, and the pet is placed into a recovery area to be monitored and to wake up.
