DOG DENTAL CARE
What’s the difference between an anesthesia-free teeth cleaning and a veterinary cleaning done under anesthesia?
There actually is a big difference! Even though the veterinary option is called a “teeth cleaning” they actually do a lot more when done properly. Not only do they clean, but also they can diagnose and treat diseases and infections and can clean into deep pockets. They may do x-rays and measure pockets as well as part of their diagnoses process. These are all things that we cannot do when the dog is awake and/or do without a veterinarian present. We can look for abnormalities in the mouth but would not know if they were actually a problem. If we see any, these would be the times when we will refer dogs back to their vets. Because we are not veterinarians we cannot provide any type of diagnoses or treatment of disease as that would begin to tread in veterinary medicine and would be against the law. We provide a hygienic service to keep your dogs mouth cleaner.
Education
All K9 Gentle Dental practitioners are recruited for their experience of working with dogs and are certified in Pet First Aid through Walks n’ Wags. In an effort to offer the best possible service, we obtained our initial training from the only state-accredited, academically recognized training program taught by a veterinarian specializing in this particular field. After completing this 40+ hour training program in Denver, Colorado, we developed our own extensive in-house K9 Gentle Dental training program.
