Solutions
Anesthesia is used to properly examine and clean the teeth, a complete oral examination is done by our veterinarians to check any signs of disease. If required a complete x-ray is also done for the full mouth, so that the roots can also be analyzed to check if there are any signs of disease/abnormalities. In certain cases that are deemed to be critical, we can choose to remove the teeth or oral surgery can also be performed.
