What is the difference in a professional teeth cleaning vs. home care?
When your pet gets their teeth cleaned in the office, they will be completely anesthetized in order to get the best possible cleaning. We have the same instruments that your dentist office has to scale, polish and apply fluoride to the teeth. The main difference is that we can get deep under the gum lines and into pockets around the teeth. We can evaluate the health of all the teeth and perform extractions as needed. This will give you a fresh start with your pets mouth, but you will need to continue dental care at home.
