A complete examination of your pet’s mouth is not possible until your pet is asleep under the general anaesthesia. A full examination consists of the vet probing your pet’s teeth and taking dental radiographs which will highlight any diseases that may be hidden beneath the gum line.

After this is complete, we can then identify whether any teeth require extraction. If the costs exceed your original estimate, then we will ALWAYS attempt to contact you prior to removing these unexpected diseased teeth.

The following consent is about knowing your wishes if we cannot get in contact with you for any reason. Keeping anaesthetic times at a low is a high priority for the safety of your pet and is why we cannot wait for you return our call.

**Please note that we only remove teeth that are absolutely necessary. If you select option 2, at your pets discharge the vet will discuss with you a plan to have these teeth extracted during another anaesthetic.
