Dental Consent Form

The doctors and staff at Hidden Valley Animal Clinic strive to give the best dental care possible to our patients. Unhealthy and diseased teeth can lead to further health complications, including heart, liver, and kidney disease. Your pet will undergo anesthesia for a complete and thorough oral exam, which will include scaling tartar, polishing the teeth, and dental radiographs. Dental radiographs help to identify disease that occurs under the gum line, unseen to the naked eye.

These radiographs can detect early dental disease such as tooth decay, tooth root fractures, tooth resorption, and abscesses.
