Oral health is very important for all of us, including our dogs and cats. We here at Burke Forest, take dental care very seriously. During each wellness visit, the doctor will perform a nose to tail physical. We will discuss your pets oral health with you. We will discuss your pets oral health with you. Our doctors may recommend a dental treatment immediately if there is an infection, a broken tooth, or other oral concern. If tartar or gingivitis is noted, we will recommend a dental treatment at the earliest convenience for the owner. Check out THIS LINK for more information.
These dental treatments include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV catheter, IV fluids, anesthesia, close anesthetic monitoring by a technician, FULL MOUTH RADIOGRAPHS (like bite wings done at your denstist), dental scaling, polishing, and a chlorhexidene rinse.
If diseased teeth are found at the time of the treatment, the doctor will make the best medical decision. For some teeth, this includes extractions (removing them). Other treatments may include an antibiotic gel placed around the roots. All dental work is priced affordably as we understand that cost is often a concern.
