TIMONIUM ANIMAL HOSPITAL
IS CELEBRATING 26 YEARS OF CLEAN TEETH!
25% Off Dental Surgery: Scaling/Polishing
(FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2023)
Dental disease is the most widespread disease in adult dogs and cats. As many as 80% of dogs/70% of cats have the
disease by the time they are 3-4 years old. Factors such as breed, genetics, and diet can play a role in determining the
severity to which pets will be affected. If left untreated, pets with dental disease are more likely to be diagnosed with heart
disease, kidney disease, diabetes, as well as various infections. This is due to the bacteria from the mouth constantly
entering the bloodstream and migrating throughout your pet's body.
Signs to look for at home include:
* bad breath
* red, swollen or irritated gums
* brown/green staining of teeth
* unusual or excessive salivation
* problems picking up or chewing food
* reluctance to eat
* tendency to chew on one side of mouth
* loss of interest in chew toys
If you notice any of the above signs please, feel free to call us to schedule a pre-dental exam with one of our
technicians. To qualify for this exam, your pet must have had a physical examination by one of our doctors, within 1 year.
Your pet's teeth and gums will be evaluated to determine which level of cleaning they will need. These levels range from:
*Routine Cleaning (under 45 minutes with possible extractions, if necessary) - discount of 112.50
*Intermediate Cleaning (45-90 minutes with some extractions) – discount of 137.50
*Complex Cleaning (over 90 minutes with extensive extractions) – discount of 162.50
Estimates available at the time of a doctor appointment or a technician appointment.

SANOS AVAILABLE WITH DENTAL SURGERY:
After the dental surgery (scale & polishing), an application of SANOS can prevent tartar/plaque build-up, for up to
6 months. Sanos is similar to a self-hardening liquid bonding, that can aid in the long term oral health of your
pet. The product and application fee would be 150.00, additional to the dental procedure.
This is made as an added option, to our dental surgery patients.
