An oral health program is vital to the health of dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents. The severity of dental disease may be overlooked causing needless suffering and failure to thrive.
Comprehensive dentistry involves pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure the safety of the procedure. Once the patient is under anesthesia a doctor examines the mouth for tumors, periodontal disease and other abnormalities. Radiographs are taken in some cases to assess bone loss or tooth root infection. Loose, infected or fractured teeth are extracted. Root canals and deep curettage are performed as needed. A dental technician then cleans and polishes the teeth and finishes by cleansing the mouth with an oral rinse. OraVet sealant is applied to retard plaque attachment.
