Dental Disease

Mild

Summary

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

Chloe did well under anesthesia and recovered well after the procedure.

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

Home Care Instructions

IF CHLOE HAS A PRESSURE BANDAGE ON 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 Chloe off with about a 1/4 of her normal amount. If she keeps this down, offer that amount every 20-30 minutes to work up to her full meal.

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.

We recommend beginning one of the following

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 Chloe'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 Chloe's recovery.
