Comprehensive Pet Dental Care in Lake Charles
Comprehensive Pet Dental Care in Lake Charles
Like people, pets should receive professional dental care on, at minimum, an annual basis.
Dental disease is one of the most overlooked problems in pets, and it’s also one of the most common health issues. And without proper treatment, it can cause pain, infections, and a variety of other problems. At Country Club Veterinary Clinic, our goal is to provide safe, effective, and affordable pet dental care in Lake Charles for companion animals throughout the area.
Dental care usually begins during your pet’s wellness visit, which includes a dental examination. Based on what we find, our veterinarians will be able to make recommendations for preventive care or treatment. Some pets may just need a cleaning or a different diet or at-home care, while others could have more extensive damage that necessitates an extraction. We recommend that many types of pets in the Lake Charles and Sulphur area get regular dental cleanings, including dogs, cats, and ferrets.
Dental Cleaning Process
Before a dental cleaning, animals are placed under anesthesia so that we can perform a thorough removal of all plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the teeth above and below the gums. This also allows us to prevent your pet from swallowing what we remove from their teeth, which may be harmful to their overall health. As with any procedure, we’ll perform pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure that your pet is healthy enough. Your pet will receive an IV catheter and will be maintained on fluids and his or her vital signs will be monitored throughout the procedure.
Our hospital is equipped with an ultrasonic dental scaler and polisher for cleaning your pet’s teeth. Their teeth will be cleaned and closely examined for infections, fractures, and other problems. After the procedure, a member of our team will monitor your pet until he or she has recovered from anesthesia. Our team will give you specific home care instructions when your pet is discharged from the hospital. And of course, we are available to address any questions or concerns you may have before or after your pet’s dental cleaning.
