Routine dental procedures require very little, if any, post
procedural instructions.
-
If your pet
had a routine dental cleaning they can most likely go
home the same day of the procedure.
-
If your pet
does come home the same day, be sure to offer wet food
for them as their mouth may be sore. If they refuse to
eat or seem a little sluggish that night, do not be
alarmed.
-
Antibiotics
are usually prescribed after a dental procedure to ward
off any kind of infection. Be sure to use them as
prescribed.
-
If any
extractions were needed, pain medication may also be
sent home. Like all other medications, be sure to use as
directed.
Dental care is important for all pets as healthy teeth boost
their comfort and well being. Cleaning & extracting teeth is
relatively simple and the procedure is usually very quick.
