We'll begin your pet's dental cleaning with an oral exam prior to placing them under anesthesia. Once your pet is anesthetized, we perform a second exam and proceed with the following steps:

Step 1: Ultrasonic scaling (cleaning): To remove plaque and tartar from above the gum line
Step 2: Root scaling and planning: To remove calculus from the root surface and smooth out roughened root surfaces
Step 3: Polishing: To smooth out any defects and remove any residual plaque from the surface of the teeth
Step 4: Irrigation (water spray): To remove plaque and diseased tissue from the gingival pocket
Step 5: Fluoride treatment: To harden and protect teeth enamel
Step 6: Digital X-rays: To examine the teeth below the gum line to evaluate the presence or degree of gum disease
Step 7: Charting: To record any abnormalities, such as feline oral resorptive lesions or fractured teeth, before treatment
Step 8: Personalized oral care solutions: To correct or prevent any dental problems found in Step 7
