During your pet's dental health exam, the veterinarian will inspect his or her mouth to look for any signs of oral health issues or symptoms that require treatment and create a plan. In some cases, serious conditions will require surgery. During a dental procedure, your pet will be given anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and will not experience any pain. However, you'll need to provide special care after the procedure and carefully follow the veterinarian's post-op instructions. Schedule a dental appointment with us if you notice any of these symptoms in your pet.
