20% Off Dental Surgery: Scaling/Polishing
Dear Family,
We are very excited to share our news, on how we will be offering our National Dental Month discount, for all of 2025! In our 28 years of celebrating National Dental Month in February, the demand has grown exponentially. Even with our decades of booking National Dental Month surgeries from January through April, there are always more dentals requests, than we can accommodate.
We will be expanding the discount through the entire 2025 year. We will honor the National Dental Month Discount, in February, for those patients who have been seen recently, and whose doctors have noted and suggested, to wait for our February special.
For all of our other patients who will be coming in for their yearly wellness exam or other type of doctor exam during 2025, you will be given a 2 month window to have a dental completed with the discounted price. We will recommend to have your pet's pre op blood work done, at the time of your doctor's examination. Blood work results within normal limits, will be good for up to 2 months.
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 bring this to your doctor's attention at your pet's next appointment. 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 105.00
*Intermediate Cleaning (45-90 minutes with some extractions) – discount of 126.00
*Complex Cleaning (over 90 minutes with extensive extractions) – discount of 147.00
Estimates provided at doctor's appointments.

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 bond, that can aid in the long term oral health of your pet. The product and application fee would be 160.00, additional to the dental procedure.
This is made as an added option, to our dental surgery patients.
