what to expect for a cat dental cleaning
A full cleaning under the gum-line where periodontal disease lurks. It would be impossible to clean this area on an awake dog or cat, but this is where periodontal disease begins with bacteria âlivingâ below the gum tissue. Professional scaling and polishing of the crown, or visible part of your dog or catâs teeth. A veterinary cleaning does require scaling or scraping the tooth to remove plaque and calculus. Scaling is completed to remove plaque and tartar build-up on the tooth crown.
