Cookie Johnson

Cookie is an 11 year old beagle whose mom, Nancy, was very concerned about Cookie’s teeth when Cookie had her annual examination this year with Dr. Leanza. Nancy reported that she thought Cookie’s teeth looked terrible, she had bad breath and she even thought she could see a crack in a tooth. Cookie’s Dental Grade was “4″, which is the most advanced level of suspected dental disease. Cookie’s mom wanted to have Cookie’s teeth cleaned and get to the bottom of the bad breath and cracked tooth. Cookie is considered a “Geriatric” pet, because she is over 10 years old. We took special care to perform specific blood and urine tests as part of her regular annual examination to ensure that Cookie was a good candidate for a dental cleaning. Her test results were great and she came through her dental cleaning like a champ! She had some teeth extracted, an extensive scaling, cleaning and polishing; as well as tooth sealant to protect her teeth. Cookie’s mom said afterwards, “It was worth it!”
