Pet Teeth Cleaning in Peyton, CO

Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team provides professional teeth cleanings to keep the smiles of pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas healthy.

Understanding Professional Teeth Cleaning

Plaque and tartar build up on your pet’s teeth over time, especially along and below the gumline where brushing cannot reach. If it is not removed, this buildup leads to gum inflammation, infection, and gingivitis.

A professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar from every tooth surface, including below the gumline. Cleanings are performed under general anesthesia so we can clean thoroughly and safely while your pet stays comfortable and still.

What to Expect: Teeth Cleaning at Falcon Family Vet

Each cleaning is designed to be safe, thorough, and comfortable for your pet.

Pre-Anesthetic Exam

A physical exam and pre-anesthetic blood work help make sure your pet is ready for anesthesia.

Scaling and Polishing

We remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, then polish the teeth to smooth the surface and slow future buildup.

Oral Exam

We examine each tooth and the gums, and may recommend dental radiographs to look below the gumline.

Home-Care Plan

We review our findings with you and share tips for keeping your pet’s teeth clean at home.

Why Teeth Cleaning Is Important for Your Pet

Regular cleanings are one of the best ways to prevent painful dental disease.

Prevents Gingivitis

Removing plaque and tartar keeps the gums healthy and reduces inflammation.

Freshens Breath

Bad breath is often a sign of bacteria that a cleaning helps remove.

Protects Overall Health

Healthy teeth and gums support your pet’s comfort and overall well-being.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Teeth Cleaning

Schedule a cleaning if you notice:

  • Bad breath
  • Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth
  • Red or swollen gums
  • Bleeding gums
  • Chewing on one side of the mouth

Many pets benefit from a professional cleaning about once a year. Learn more about our complete dental care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my pet need a professional teeth cleaning?

Brushing alone cannot remove tartar below the gumline. A professional cleaning removes this buildup and helps prevent gingivitis and gum disease. Call Falcon Family Vet at (719) 828-7272 to schedule.

How much does a teeth cleaning cost and how long does it take?

The cost depends on your pet’s size, age, and dental health. Most pets go home the same day. We will provide an estimate before the procedure. Call (719) 828-7272 for more information.

How should I prepare my pet for a teeth cleaning?

Follow our fasting instructions the night before and complete any required forms. Our team will let you know about any medications your pet should or should not take. Call (719) 828-7272 with questions.

Why is anesthesia needed for a teeth cleaning?

Anesthesia lets us safely clean below the gumline and examine every tooth while your pet stays still and comfortable. Our team monitors your pet closely throughout the procedure.
