Dental health is more important to your pets overall health than you may think. Bad breath is not the only side effect of poor oral health. Overlooked oral care may lead to more serious complications in your pet’s well-being including damage to the heart, kidneys and other major organs.  A thorough dental cleaning can be accomplished only while the pet is under general anesthesia. Anesthesia keeps your pet free of pain during the dental procedure and allows your veterinarian to fully inspect the teeth and remove tartar from under the gums. Call us for more information on how you can take the proper steps to improve your pet’s oral health!
