We take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for during surgery. One key aspect of this is proper monitoring and keeping your pet warm throughout the procedure.

Why is this so important?

Monitoring Vital Signs: During surgery, we continuously monitor your petā€™s heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature. This helps us ensure that everything stays stable and gives us real-time feedback, allowing us to make adjustments as needed.

Maintaining Body Temperature: Pets under anesthesia are at risk of hypothermia, which can slow recovery and cause complications. To prevent this, we use warming pads, blankets, and controlled environments to keep your pet's body temperature stable and ensure a safe recovery. ā„ļøāž”ļøšŸ”„

Faster Recovery: Keeping your pet warm not only supports their vital functions but also helps them bounce back from anesthesia more quickly, leading to a smoother and more comfortable recovery process.

Your petā€™s safety is our top priority, and by properly monitoring their vital signs and maintaining the right temperature, we help minimize risks and ensure they feel as comfortable as possible during surgery.

Want to know what healthy teeth look like on an X-ray? Take a look at this beautiful dental X-ray of a cat's teeth, where everything is in tip-top shape!

When we perform a dental exam, X-rays are a key tool to help us see below the surface and ensure there are no hidden issues like infections, fractures, or decay. A healthy catā€™s teeth on an X-ray should show:

Clean, smooth surfaces ā€“ No signs of plaque, tartar, or cavities!
No bone loss or infection ā€“ The surrounding bone should look strong and intact, with no signs of abscesses or disease.
Proper tooth alignment ā€“ Teeth should be in good position, with no signs of misalignment or unusual wear.
These healthy, clear X-rays mean this catā€™s teeth are in great shape, helping them avoid pain, discomfort, and future dental problems. Regular check-ups and cleanings are the best way to keep your catā€™s teeth healthy for life!

Did you know that abscesses in your petā€™s mouth can go unnoticed without a proper dental exam and X-rays? šŸ¾ X-rays are an essential tool that helps us spot these hidden issues early and prevent painful complications down the road.

Recently, we found an abscess in a pet's mouth during a routine dental X-ray. šŸ¦· Abscesses are infections that can form at the root of a tooth, often caused by untreated dental disease or injury. These infections can lead to serious pain, swelling, and even tooth loss if left untreated.

Hereā€™s why dental X-rays are so important:

Early Detection: Abscesses and other issues, like infections or fractures, might not be visible on the surface but can show up on X-rays.
Pain Prevention: Abscesses cause significant discomfort. Catching them early means we can treat them before they become a bigger problem.
Preserving Teeth: By treating abscesses early, we can often save teeth that might otherwise need to be removed.
If you notice signs like bad breath, swelling, drooling, or changes in your petā€™s eating habits, it could be a sign of an underlying dental issue like an abscess.

Outside of work, Alicia enjoys spending time with her husband, Scott, and their four-year-old son, Keenan, as well as caring for their beloved petsā€”three dogs, three cats, and a bird. She frequently takes trips to the beach, spends time with friends and their kids, and loves crafting and going on adventures with her family, making the most of every opportunity to explore and create lasting memories.

Take a look at this before and after shot of a recent dental cleaning, where we discovered a slab fracture! šŸ¦·

Whatā€™s a slab fracture? Itā€™s a break in the tooth often caused by trauma, chewing hard objects, or dental disease. Itā€™s one of those issues that might not show up externally but can cause serious discomfort.

Regular dental cleanings and check-ups are essential for catching these hidden problems before they become painful or costly to treat.

After your petā€™s dental cleaning, we donā€™t just stop at removing plaque and tartarā€”we take it a step further and polish their teeth! Why is polishing so important?

Hereā€™s why we polish after every cleaning:

Smooths the Tooth Surface
After removing plaque and tartar, the surface of your petā€™s teeth can be rough. Polishing helps smooth the surface, making it harder for new plaque to stick to their teeth and gums. This reduces the chance of tartar buildup in the future!

Prevents Future Plaque Build-up
Polishing creates a sleek, smooth surface, making it harder for bacteria to accumulate and form plaque, keeping their teeth cleaner for a longer time.

A Sparkling Smile!
Polishing also gives your petā€™s teeth that shiny, fresh look, leaving them with a healthy smile thatā€™s not just clean but also visually appealing. Who doesnā€™t love a bright smile?

Dental polishing is a key part of maintaining your petā€™s oral health and ensuring their teeth stay clean for as long as possible after a professional cleaning. Itā€™s like adding that final touch to make sure their smile is truly healthy and happy! šŸ˜„

Schedule your petā€™s dental cleaning today, and letā€™s keep their smile sparkling! šŸ¾
