Good morning Kate! I want to say what a pleasure it was to meet you on Saturday, and how beautiful Bodhi's teeth are. You did a great job, and I have all the confidence in the world in you.
Loretta
Kate, you cleaned my dog's teeth in mid January. You did a great job. My vet would like your name and number for referrals for anyone who like me hates giving the dogs anesthesia.

What is the difference between non-anesthetic teeth cleaning versus teeth cleaning under general anesthesia?Non-anesthetic dental cleaning is meant to prevent periodontal disease in a healthy dog or cat mouth not to treat it. This non-invasive procedure enables the cleaning of a pet's teeth without the need for general anesthesia. The teeth are scaled and polished while the pet is fully awake, mitigating the potential risks associated with anesthesia. Non-anesthetic dental care can be performed more frequently as part of your dog’s regular dental hygiene routine, helping to prevent more serious dental issues in the long run. However, if your pet has gum disease or other dental conditions, it is important to have them treated by a veterinarian first. Once a veterinarian has addressed the dental issues, regular wellness routine cleaning will help maintain a healthy mouth for your pet. If you are unsure about your pet's dental condition, call us for a free consultation.

How do you keep my pet still?To keep your pet at ease, we will comfortably position them, such as lying in our lap. We also use gentle relaxation techniques to help your pet feel safe and comfortable throughout the cleaning.
-
Which pets are qualified for this procedure?Pets in need of preventative, routine cleaning. Pets with mild to moderate tartar buildup and gingivitis. Older pets or pets with medical conditions that make general anesthesia too risky for them. Pets that are cooperative and can tolerate the cleaning process without the need for sedation or anesthesia.
-
Is every pet a candidate?Unfortunately, this type of cleaning is not for every dog. Pets with excessively aggressive behaviors, advanced periodontal disease, or conditions such as severe gingivitis, caries, fractured teeth, or stomatitis are not eligible.
-
What dental tools do you use?We use manual scalers, curettes, and ultrasounds identical to those used in human dental cleanings. Before every use, all our scaling instruments undergo sterilization in an autoclave.
-
How long does it take to clean my pet’s teeth?Depending on the condition of your pet’s mouth and temperament, cleaning takes on average about 30 minutes. But we always adjust the time for your pet's needs.
-
Can I stay with my pet during the appointment?Like children, dogs and cats tend to behave better when their guardian is not around. From our experience, we have found that working with pets alone allows them to relax and become calmer.
-
What if my pet resists?Typically, pets calm down swiftly, allowing the cleaning process to proceed smoothly. However, if this isn't the case and your pet displays significant stress, we will stop the cleaning.
-
How often should I schedule the cleaning for my pet?Most pets should undergo routine dental cleanings every 3 to 6 months. Skipping routine dental cleanings can lead to periodontal disease.
