Dog and Cat Dental Cleaning and Extractions in Kirkland, Bothell, Woodinville, Seattle and Kenmore
Everything local pet parents need to know about professional dental cleaning, full mouth dental X-rays, safe anesthesia, extraction decisions, recovery and real pricing. Written by the team at Holly Vet Clinic.
Why dental care matters for dogs and cats
Most dental disease hides under the gums. Professional cleaning with full mouth dental X-rays removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline and reveals root infection, bone loss and resorptive lesions that a visual exam cannot see. Treating the real problem leads to faster recovery and fewer repeat issues.
Signs your pet may need a dental cleaning
- Bad breath or drooling
- Brown or yellow tartar on teeth
- Red or bleeding gums
- Chewing on one side or dropping food
- Loose, fractured or missing teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or face sensitivity
- Reluctance to eat or sudden pickiness
- Facial swelling or behavior change
What happens during a professional dental visit
- Pre-exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to tailor a safe plan
- Full mouth dental X-rays to evaluate roots and bone
- Scaling above and below the gumline and polishing
- Sealant when indicated to slow plaque build up
- Extraction only when a tooth is infected, fractured or unstable
- Pain control and a written recovery plan
Safety during anesthesia
Safety starts with a tailored drug plan and continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen and temperature from induction to recovery. Senior pets can be good candidates with this level of care and often feel much better once dental pain is resolved.

Frequently asked questions
- How often should my pet have a dental cleaning
Many pets benefit from annual cleanings. Small breed dogs and some cats may need them more often. Your veterinarian will set the schedule after the exam and X-rays. - Is anesthesia safe for senior pets
With modern protocols and monitoring, anesthesia is safe for most seniors. Treating dental pain often improves appetite and comfort. - Do you take full mouth dental X-rays
Yes. X-rays are a core part of our dentistry because most disease is below the gumline. - Can I get an estimate before the procedure
Yes. We provide a written estimate after the oral exam and X-rays so you can plan with confidence.
