  During a dental cleaning, plaque and tartar are removed from a pet’s teeth, and the health of the entire mouth is assessed. A thorough dental cleaning can be accomplished only while the pet is under general anesthesia. Anesthesia keeps your pet free of pain during the dental procedure and allows your veterinarian to fully inspect the teeth and remove tartar from under the gums. During anesthesia, a soft plastic tube is inserted into the main airway in the throat to support the patient’s breathing, an intravenous catheter is placed for your pet to receive fluids, and blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG/EKG monitors are placed to monitor your pet.

Toes has always been a constant in our Clinic and in our hearts and we will miss him greatly.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  Periodontal disease starts when plaque; a mixture of bacteria and food debris, mineralizes into calculus. This process takes only 48 hours and once formed it cannot simply be "brushed away". The calculus leads to gingivitis (infection of the gum) and periodontal disease; that left untreated can result in the loss of bone and eventually teeth.
