Tooth scaling will be performed using both hand scalers and ultrasonic cleaning equipment to remove tartar both above and below the gum line. The tartar beneath the gum line causes the most significant gum recession. The teeth are then polished in order to help prevent subsequent plaque build-up. It may be necessary to carry out other procedures such as extractions at the same time. Special applications such as fluoride, antibiotic preparations and cleaning compounds may be indicated to decrease tooth sensitivity, strengthen enamel and reduce plaque accumulation and bacterial infection.

Thyroid Disease Treatment
We can recommend a bath after we’ve examined your pet and diagnosed the problem. Illnesses unrelated to the skin, such as thyroid disease, can also cause skin problems in pets, so we want to be sure we’re treating the root of the problem, not just a symptom. Call us so we can help your pet feel better.
Knee Problems Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Proper dental care is critical in maintaining your pet’s health and comfort. The #1 health problem diagnosed in cats and dogs over 3 years of age is periodontal disease. Dental disease puts stress on your pet’s immune system and can lead to serious liver, kidney, respiratory and heart disease. Ultrasonic scaling is performed above and below the gum line, followed by a thorough polishing and fluoride application. Regular preventative dental care can add years to the life of your pet.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions seen by veterinarians. Approximately two-thirds of cats over three years of age have some degree of dental disease. The most common problems are due to periodontal disease, gingivitis and cervical neck lesions, also called oral resorptive lesions.
