Things to Know Before Your Pet’s Teeth Cleaning Appointment
Similar to when humans visit a dentist, some measures must be taken to make sure your pet is comfortable and to ensure the dental cleaning runs more smoothly. For example, your animal will be required to receive anesthesia. Not only can it protect your pet and our veterinarians, but it can make it less painful and scary for your animal. Therefore, anesthesia is necessary for every dental cleaning.
