Pet Dental Care in Marietta

Professional dental cleaning requires general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and allow thorough cleaning below the gum line. We understand that anesthesia concerns many pet owners, but modern anesthetic protocols and careful monitoring make the procedure very safe. The benefits of maintaining your pet’s oral health greatly outweigh the minimal risks of anesthesia.

During the procedure, we remove tartar and plaque from all tooth surfaces, including below the gum line where disease starts. We also take digital X-rays to examine the tooth roots and jaw bones for hidden problems. If we discover damaged or infected teeth, we can perform extractions during the same procedure. Finally, we’ll polish your furry friend’s teeth to create smooth surfaces that resist future plaque buildup. We can even provide tips for taking care of your pet’s teeth at home between professional cleanings.
