In most cases, your pet will be positioned on a comfortable blanket on the technician’s lap with plenty of support to make them feel comfortable. This way, there is easy access and visibility to every area of your pet’s mouth.
After easing into this position, the technician skillfully introduces the necessary instruments and applies a variety of hand holds to navigate the cleaning process. Gently and meticulously, all tooth surfaces are cleaned.
We use hand instruments similar to those used in a hygienist’s office. For each visit, all tools are thoroughly sterilized, and all surfaces are wiped with an antiseptic agent to ensure a clean and safe environment.
Once the scaling process (removal of tartar and plaque) is finished, our practitioners polish all tooth surfaces. Our choice of polishing paste is free of fluoride, xylitol, and other unnecessary additives.
With a professional, compassionate, and confident approach, we help dogs and cats relax using a variety of techniques.
Verbal communication is done calmly and assertively using a tone appropriate to the situation. We interact with your pet through assured, comfortable handling while respecting your pet’s boundaries and space.
Although most dogs and cats are candidates for teeth cleaning, for some, this method is not suitable.
At Pearly Whites For Pets, we prefer to work with your pet alone. Without the guardians present, we find it easier for our four-legged clients to relax, settle down, and put their focus on the technician. Nevertheless, we respect unique circumstances, and if you feel that your presence will positively impact your pet during the cleaning, please discuss it with us.
