Non-Anesthetic Dental Cleaning

Non-Anesthetic Dental Cleaning

Veterinarian performing a non-anesthetic dental cleaning on a dog's teeth using a dental scaler in Sherman OaksThe Non-Anesthetic Dental service at Green Dog Veterinary Center is structured to ensure a comfortable experience for your pet. Unlike anesthetic dental cleanings, this service is performed while your pet is awake. The process begins as your pet is warmly welcomed and accustomed to the environment, ensuring a stress-free atmosphere. Following this, a Comprehensive Veterinary Dental Exam is conducted to determine if your pet is a suitable candidate for non-anesthetic dental cleaning. Your pet is given a thorough oral examination and dental charting. If the evaluation results are favorable, the dental cleaning proceeds under meticulous veterinary supervision. The cleaning involves dental scaling of the buccal (cheek side) and lingual (tongue side) surfaces, extending beneath the gum lines. This is executed using a combination of ultrasonic (water-tipped) and hand-scaling techniques. The procedure concludes with a dental polish to help slow the rate of plaque accumulation and tartar buildup, promoting longer-lasting dental hygiene.
