Outpatient Dental Procedures: Cleaning & Extractions
Are you doing enough to support your pet’s dental health? In addition to regular at-home dental care (such as tooth brushing), Whiting Veterinary Clinic recommends including a dental exam and cleaning as part of an annual health panel for your pet. Like in humans, poor dental health can have unexpected negative effects on other areas of their bodies.
Let’s break it down: when discussing dental health, the main concern for your pets is periodontal disease, the progressive inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal disease causes bad breath, gingivitis, and tooth loss. Left untreated, bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and travel to your pet’s internal organs, causing liver, heart, and kidney problems.
Have your pet’s teeth checked sooner if you observe any of the following issues:
- Bad breath
- Broken or loose teeth
- Extra teeth or retained baby teeth
- Teeth that are discolored or covered in tartar
- Abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food from the mouth
- Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
- Pain in or around the mouth
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Swelling in the areas surrounding the mouth
Consider bundling a dental exam and teeth cleaning with your pet’s annual wellness visit for the gold standard in overall health and preventative care.
**Always be careful when evaluating your pet’s mouth because a painful animal may bite.**
Why Choose Whiting Veterinary Clinic for Pet Dental Work?
When purchasing veterinary dental care, it’s worth investigating exactly WHAT services you’re getting for your money. Most low-cost veterinary dental clinics are able to charge lower bills by only offering the actual procedure without other necessary aspects of care, such as:
- Pre-op examination, bloodwork, and diagnostics to assess overall health (these can prevent the likelihood of possible complications)
- Anesthesia administration, monitoring, and proper use of pain-relieving medication
- Pre-op dental X-rays to determine the condition of teeth below the gum line and assess the need for extractions
- Access to emergency life-saving equipment and personnel in the case of emergency
- Staff and facilities to monitor post-op recovery
The value in choosing Whiting Veterinary Clinic as your surgery suite for dental cleanings and extractions also extends to aftercare. Low-cost clinics do not generally provide any level of aftercare for your pet. They will likely refer you to your regular veterinarian, which only compounds the overall cost of the procedure. At Whiting Veterinary Clinic, pre- and post-operative care are included in the total estimate for every anesthetic procedure our veterinarians provide. Quality aftercare consists of the following:
- Personalized next-day phone follow up
- FREE scheduled post-op examination to assess progress
- FREE suture (stitch) removal and evaluation of medications
NO hidden fees, NO surprise treatments. Leave the jumping through hoops to our four-legged friends.
