Regular Oral Health Evaluations
Your pet’s oral health will be assessed during each physical exam. If a dental cleaning or other oral procedure is necessary, we will create a customized treatment plan to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Procedures are categorized as Basic, Moderate, or Advanced, depending on the level of tartar and gingivitis observed.
Should our dental evaluations reveal a need for more extensive treatment, we will communicate with you during the procedure to keep you informed and involved in your pet’s care.
