Dental Care for Pets
Dental cleaning is more important for pets than many realize. Pets also risk having different dental diseases, just like humans do. Poughkeepsie Animal Wellness helps pets in Poughkeepsie, NY, with various dental care needs. From tooth extractions to general dental cleanings, we do it all!
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
Unless your pet cannot handle it, we will put them under general anesthesia to make them more comfortable. We then use the proper dental tools to clean your pet’s mouth by removing plaque and tartar. We use special treatments to help strengthen and protect your pet’s teeth.
During a dental cleaning, we also like to check the gumline and make sure there aren’t any problems that aren’t visible without an x-ray. With this, we can also ensure that none of your pet’s teeth are broken, infected, or have other dental disease problems.
