🦷😍 Say hello to siblings Cody and Roxy, who joined us today for their dental scale and polish procedures! 🐾
During a routine health check, we noticed that both Cody and Roxy had some stubborn plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and dental treats alone wouldn’t be able to remove.
Following a full health check, both were placed under general anaesthetic so we could give their teeth a thorough clean, leaving them with lovely pearly whites! ✨
🩺 Did you know that a dental scale and polish is a nurse-led procedure?
Once the vet has induced the general anaesthetic, our Registered Veterinary Nurses take over the anaesthetic monitoring and carry out the scaling and polishing of the teeth.
But there’s much more to it than just making those teeth sparkle! ✨
During the procedure, we also carefully examine the teeth and gum line for any abnormalities, recording our findings on a detailed dental chart, just like you would see at your own dentist! Any concerns are then discussed with the vet.
🦷 Why is dental care so important?
A professional scale and polish doesn’t just leave your pet with cleaner teeth and fresher breath. It also removes plaque and tartar, including from beneath the gum line, helping to prevent and manage periodontal disease.
Keeping on top of your pet’s dental health is an important part of their overall health and wellbeing! ❤️
🐾 Think your pet might benefit from a dental check?
Give our friendly team a call to book a dental consultation with one of our veterinary nurses. We can assess your pet’s teeth, offer advice on home dental care and discuss whether a professional dental procedure may be beneficial.
Healthy teeth, happy pets! 🐶🐱🦷
