Dental exams and teeth cleaning for dogs and cats require the use of anesthesia to ensure a stress-free and safe experience for pets.
Anesthesia-free dental cleaning is not just stressful for pets, it also comes with increased risks — such as that of injuries to the pet and the accidental aspiration of debris (which can result in serious complications.)
Anesthesia-free cleaning is also not as thorough as professional dental cleaning with the aid of anesthesia.
