The most important element in determining the quality of a teeth cleaning is the experience of the teeth cleaning technician. With 10 years of hands on experience in the area of non-anesthetic teeth cleaning Aaron has serviced over thousands of dogs and cats, some of which he still maintains monthly to date without incident. Aaron comes highly recommended by many Veterinarians and Grooming facilit
ies in the Orange, San Diego, San Mateo, and Alameda areas as one of the best! He is very thorough in his cleanings and is able to detect issues in the mouth and forward that information to the on-site DVM whom is capable of evaluating, diagnosing and treating your pet at your approval. Most pets are very cooperative during the teeth cleaning process. All pets are handled gently with care and are treated like our own pets. Large dogs will lie on the ground comfortably in front of the technician where the mouth can be easily accessed for the cleaning. (Small pets, including cats, are gently swaddled in a soft towel for the cleaning procedure.) The technician gently grasps the muzzle and begins hand-scaling the teeth. This is where heavy calculus build up is removed. For pets with areas that require a deeper cleaning or for stubborn tartar above and below the gumline, an ultrasonic scaler is used. This tools helps to vibrate away tartar while rinsing with water in areas that are difficult to clean with a traditional hand-scaler. Once calculus is removed from all surfaces of the teeth, your pet is ready for the final stages of the cleaning. Your pet’s teeth are then polished with a special paste safe for pets. Finally, your pet will receive an oral rinse (Pet grade for what mouth wash is to humans) to kill off any bacteria remaining along the gum lines.
*All instruments are sterile between pets and new gloves and polisher heads are used to prevent cross contamination.
*Any pets that exhibit signs of stress may be evaluated by the on-site DVM for light sedation methods to be approved by the pet owner.
