All animals who undergo dental cleanings will have full mouth radiographs with our new state of the art hand held digital dental machine. Sometimes teeth that look diseased on the surface actually have very healthy root structure and other times teeth that look good on the surface have diseased roots and require extraction. During the examination prior to the dental procedure a veterinarian will discuss the procedure in detail. We recommend dental cleanings because they help prevent the development of advanced periodontal disease which can cause other metabolic diseases in dogs and cats.
