Does my pet need anesthesia for a dental cleaning?

Yes, anesthesia is essential for safe, thorough, and low-stress dental cleaning for pets.

During a professional dental procedure, anesthesia allows veterinarians to clean below the gumline, where plaque, tartar, and bacteria build up over time. If left untreated, these things can lead to painful infections and long-term damage.

Anesthesia also ensures your pet remains still and comfortable, making it possible to perform a complete oral exam, dental X-rays, and any necessary extractions or treatments with minimal pain or fear.

Skipping anesthesia can mean missing serious dental issues that aren’t visible on the surface.

At Banfield Houston, we prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort every step of the way with carefully monitored anesthesia and dental care.

Is your pet constantly itching? It might be allergies! 🐾

• Chewing, biting, rubbing, scratching, or excessive licking
• Licking paws
• Inflamed or irritated skin
• Ear infections
• Eye discharge
• Sneezing
• Hair loss

Don’t wait for symptoms to get worse. Addressing them sooner will help your pet get back to being comfortable.
