   Today got an ultrasonic cleaning followed by low-speed enamel polishing and fluoride treatment.

    did well under anesthesia and recovered well after the procedure.

   His/Her teeth and gums are much healthier after the dental cleaning.

   IF HAS A PRESSURE BANDAGE ON HIS/HER LEG, PLEASE REMOVE IT 20 MINUTES AFTER PICK UP. (Bandage may have already been removed.)

   It is not unusual for a pet to have nausea and/or coughing for 24-48 hours after an anesthetic procedure.

   When offering food tonight, start off with about a 1/4 of his/her normal amount. If he/she keeps this down, offer that amount every 20-30 minutes to work up to his/her full meal.

   As had some extractions he/she may have some discomfort while eating. You may want to soften his/her food (if he/she is on a kibble diet) with warm water or feed wet food for a few days.

   It is very important to provide home dental healthcare to maintain oral health as good oral hygiene can actually add to your pet's life expectancy.

   Brushing (with toothbrush or finger brush) and an enzymatic toothpaste every 1-3 days.

   Oral rinsing with chlorhexidine solutions (C.E.T. Rinse). (This is acceptable but not as effective as brushing.)

   Adding C.E.T Aquadent solution to 's drinking water daily can help prevent plaque accumulation when used in conjunction with a regular home dental care program as well.

   You may also offer enzymatic chews daily, such as the C.E.T. chews we carry here, but we do not recommend more than one a day as these can add significant calories to your pets diet.

Please call us at with any concerns or questions you may have during 's recovery.
