A dental cleaning involves the removal of plaque and calculus from your pet's teeth. It will not remove permanent stains.

In cases of periodontal disease, radiographs may be necessary to evaluate and determine the health of the tooth/teeth. In many cases tooth loss is inevitable. If this is the case it is often better to extract the tooth and or teeth so that it is not causing pain. We will use our discretion to do radiographs and simple extractions of such teeth when necessary. Teeth that need to be surgically extracted will be discussed with you, the client before such surgery is done. Radiographs and extractions are an additional cost.
