Non-Anesthetic Dental Cleanings in Oahu
Our mobile pet dental clinic comes to you!
Non-Anesthetic dental cleanings offer a safe, affordable alternative to standard anesthetic-based cleanings. By combining training and handling techniques, Crystal is able to effectively clean above and below the gumline and polish while your pet is alert and comfortable. Many clients have called Crystal a “Dog- Whisperer” with the amount of patience and calm way of handling the pets during the procedure. During the behavior assessment, Crystal gains the complete trust and confidence of the pet before she begins the cleaning.
Assessment and Cleaning
The 30-minute procedure encompasses a 6-step process of assessment and cleaning. The process promotes consistent dental hygiene and helps maintain long term preventative care.
1: Getting to Know Your Pet
We assess your pet’s behavior and movement and learn about any past major surgeries or pertinent health history.
2: Prep & Assessment
Prepping and Assessment: Once your pet is calm and approachable, we use a towel or blanket to wrap smaller pets. For bigger dogs, we gently lay them in recumbent position. A probe is used for each tooth to check for any pocketing or movement. We also note any abnormalities on our written report.
3: Removing Plaque & Tartar
We use hand scalers, currettes and an ultrasonic piezo scaler to remove thick tartar buildup.
4: Polishing
Using an ultrasonic polisher and pet paste, we smooth out the enamel surface to polish the teeth.
5: Rinsing
We use a rinse to clear out any tartar, saliva or debris from your pet’s mouth.
6: Documentation and Recommendations
Lastly, we complete a dental chart for your records and document document potential future oral care that could require an Anesthetic Dental. We also provide a recommended recheck date and home care instructions.
