Comprehensive Pet Dental Care in Lake Charles

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.
