Anesthesia–free teeth cleaning procedure takes about 25 – 40 minutes. It depends on the complexity and the amount of calculus and an animal’s behavior.
We gently lay your pet on the side on the table; whichever position is comfortable for the dog. We use special techniques and approaches to prevent them from struggling and hurting themselves. We perform overall oral cavity exam. As soon as we finished dental exam and decide that it is safe to proceed, we slowly and carefully begin to help the pet to relax and get used to the sounds and light. We start to use a sterile ultrasonic toothbrush removing from the anterior and posterior teeth. We carefully clean each tooth. Finally, we floss, wipe and rinse.
Yes, we sterilize all the tools before and after the procedure and use a serialized set of scalers for each dog!

No, we don’t give a dog any sedative medication or anything else. You can help the pet to be a little more relaxed by giving it a little amount of CBD/hemp oil before the visit (30 – 60 minute) but that up to you and not a requirement from our end.
The cleaning procedure itself is exactly the same. The only difference is that we we simply do not use anesthesia or anything else except of our skills.
