Frequently Asked Questions
Is pet dental cleaning really necessary if my pet eats dry food?
Yes. While dry food may help reduce some plaque, it does not replace professional cleanings or daily dental care.
Is pet dental cleaning really necessary if my pet eats dry food?
Yes. While dry food may help reduce some plaque, it does not replace professional cleanings or daily dental care.
Will my pet need anesthesia for a dental cleaning?
Yes. General anesthesia is required to thoroughly and safely clean below the gumline and perform extractions if necessary.
How often should my pet have a dental cleaning?
Most pets benefit from annual cleanings, but your veterinarian may recommend a different schedule based on your pet’s breed, age, and oral health.
How can I support my pet’s dental health at home?
The best way to support your pet’s dental health between visits is to brush their teeth regularly using a special pet toothbrush and pet-safe toothpaste. (Do not use human toothpaste as it contains ingredients that are toxic to pets.) This process will take time for your pet to get used to, so be patient and reward your pet with positive reinforcement after you’ve finished brushing. You can also give them dental treats, chews, or water supplements to support their hygiene.
