Just like in humans, dental health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. At Advanced Veterinary Care of Vestavia, we’re committed to providing comprehensive dental care to keep your furry friend’s teeth and gums healthy and pain-free.
What to Expect During a Dental Procedure:
- Pre-Anesthetic Screening: We prioritize your pet’s safety by conducting thorough bloodwork and a physical exam before any dental procedure. This helps us identify any underlying health concerns and ensure they’re ready for anesthesia.
- Sedation and Monitoring: We use IV catheters and gentle sedation to ensure your pet is comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure. We also closely monitor their vital signs during the entire process.
- Comprehensive Oral Exam: Our veterinarians will carefully examine your pet’s mouth, checking for signs of gingivitis, gum disease, growths, and tooth damage or fractures.
- Ultrasonic Scaling and Polishing: We use state-of-the-art ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a thorough polishing to leave your pet’s teeth sparkling clean.
- Protective Coating: We apply a protective coating (Oravet) to help prevent future tartar buildup and maintain your pet’s oral health.
The Importance of Dental Care:
Dental infections can have serious consequences for your pet’s overall health, affecting their heart, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Regular dental care is crucial for preventing these complications and ensuring your pet enjoys a happy, healthy life.
