Dental Care (ATP)

At Acoaxet Veterinary Clinic, we recommend an annual dental exam and professional scaling and polishing by one of our professionals to maintain your pet’s healthy teeth and gums.  Your dog or cat is at risk for the same oral disease as you, and proactive dental care will have a significant positive impact on your dog or cat’s overall health, comfort and lifespan. With annual professional cleanings under anesthesia and dental treatments as needed, much of oral disease during the lifetime of your pet can be prevented.

Brushing Your Pet's Teeth

Tooth brushing is the single most effective means of removing plaque from the visible surface of the tooth. When you brush your pet’s teeth, initially the goal is to make the brushing experience a positive one. To accomplish this you need to gradually introduce your finger or toothbrush into your pet’s mouth for short periods of time and give a strong reward immediately afterwards. This desensitization process must be repeated over and over again.
