Non-Anesthetic Teeth Cleaning
What is a Non- Anesthetic Teeth Scaling?
A Non-Anesthetic Teeth Scaling procedure is a safe professional cleaning of your pets teeth without the use of anesthesia. I first take a history of your pet and do a thorough exam to see if they are eligible to have a Non-Anesthetic Teeth Scaling preformed. If your pet is a candidate the following steps are carried out. Using a gentle and safe restraining technique called a swaddle your pet is laid comfortably in a supine position.
We are professionally trained to remove plaque and tartar both on the visible tooth as well asabove the gum line using a combination of a hand scaling and ultrasonic scaling. This will ensurethat all plaque and tartar will be removed completely. After all the plaque and tartar have beenremoved, the teeth are polished. This keeps the teeth smooth and helps to prevent plaque toadhere between cleanings.
After the cleaning a report of your pets oral health is documented and kept on file as well as a copy given to you. I recommended cleanings every 6 months to keep your pets teeth in excellent condition. Maintenance is key!

What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a disease that starts when bacteria form plaque on the teeth. When plaque builds up this forms tarter or calculus. This bacteria works its way under the gums and causes gingivitis. Once this bacteria reaches the gums, bacteria destroys both the tooth , bone and gums. This is called periodontal disease. If left untreated periodontal disease can affect the heart, kidneys liver and overall health of pet.
