Veterinary Dentistry: Anesthesia & Your Pet's Oral Health
Cats and dogs don't know what is happening during dental procedures, and will often respond to dental procedures by biting or struggling.
Just like the anesthesia given to nervous or anxious patients by dentists, our Laguna Woods vets provide anesthesia to all of our patients before performing dental procedures. This puts less stress on the animals and allows us to X-ray their mouth as needed.
