A Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) is a thorough assessment of the oral cavity of your pet with the formulation of a treatment plan to address any disease that may be present.
The Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) includes:
The package also includes bloodwork before surgery to ensure your pet is healthy to undergo anesthesia.
Extractions: This depends on the quantity and complexity of extractions necessary. We only extract what's necessary. If necessary, the veterinarian may have to suture the extraction site.
Periodontal Filler: Cementing gel to preserve a tooth for a little longer. It has shown significant reduction in pocket depth and improves overall periodontal health.
Sealants: SANOS® works by getting into those hard-to-reach places under the gumline, especially around the back teeth. It acts like a clear, self-drying bandage that helps protect against plaque and tartar buildup for up to 6 months! This is important because while cavities are less common in pets, gum disease is a big concern. Keeping the gumline clean can help prevent problems that might lead to tooth extractions down the road.
Pain Medication: If extractions are necessary, pain medication will be administered accordingly.
Antibiotics: These may be required on pets with advanced dental problems prior to and after the surgery.
Anesthesia Free Dentals:
We do not offer nor do we recommend having your pets teeth cleaned without anesthesia. Please visit the Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists website and read about their stance on anesthesia free dentals.
