Section 3: Oral Surgery and Additional Preventive DentistryIf your pet is here for a Dental today your pet will receive full mouth dental radiographs during their full anesthetic dental cleaning today. Dental radiographs are the only way to truly evaluate your pet’s complete dentistry needs as most periodontal disease lies beneath the visual surface of the gums. Due to this we often encounter problems that require further intervention unforeseeable until your pet has already been placed under anesthesia. This intervention may include but is not limited to; performing periodontal bonds and sealants to protect teeth from further fractures/damage, use of antibiotic gels to seal the beginning formation or intraoral pocketing and performing dental extractions to prevent the progression of periodontal disease resulting in infection and/or oral bone loss in affected teeth. Please choose one of the options below regarding additional dentistry and our communication with you regarding your pet’s needs:Please select your choice below* Please call me prior to performing any additional dentistry required for my pet.

However, occasional problems can arise if the veterinarian is not aware of the preexisting conditions which may not be evident during the presurgical examination and diagnostic testing, We require that every pet undergoing general anesthesia have baseline lab testing. This does not guarantee the absence of complications; however, it will greatly reduce the risk of complications. FOR COMFORT WE MAY REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING: An antipain injection or patch before the procedure that lessens the perception of pain afterwards Post procedure antipain injection for sustained comfort Pain medication for home administration We have the technology to safely and permanently insert a microchip under your pet’s skin, which will allow anyone (animal shelters and veterinary hospitals) to scan and identify your pet if lost or stolen. Although it is not necessary to anesthetize your pet to insert the microchip, we find that it is more comfortable and convenient for you and your pet to do so concurrently with an anesthetic procedure.
