Our veterinarian will first perform an exam on your pet to determine if they are a candidate. The pet’s temperament needs to be appropriate, and the degree of dental disease is taken into consideration. Not all dental problems can be fixed without anesthesia because dental x-rays and extractions cannot be performed with the pet awake. Therefore it is more thorough to perform a full dental procedure under anesthesia (which is the gold standard).
However, we do offer non-anesthetic dentals for those patients that are candidates. This is a great option for pets with more mild tartar or where anesthesia is not an option. Anesthesia-free dental preventative cleanings are also good for patients between anesthetic dental procedures to help reduce tartar.
We use the services of an experienced and professional company called Pet Dental Services. https://petdentalservices.com/ Their technicians are skilled, licensed, and insured. They are gentle with the animals and trained about dental disease.
During the non-anesthetic dental cleaning the technicians scale, polish and fluoride the teeth.
This can only be performed legally in the state of California under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian, which is why our doctor is always present.
