Dental hygienists ... help patients develop and maintain good oral health. For example, they may explain the relationship between diet and oral health, or the link between oral health and such serious conditions as heart disease and stroke. They also inform patients how to select toothbrushes and show them how to brush and floss their teeth.

The most effective preventive treatment for dental disease is a professional teeth cleaning. Only with a professional cleaning is a veterinarian able to fully assess an animal's dental health, take X-rays as needed, scale bacteria and tartar off of tooth surfaces as well as from under the gum line, polish and perform more advanced procedures if necessary. This can result in improved overall health and longevity of a pet by preventing or aiding in early detection of dental conditions. VPI's new Pet WellCare Protection(SM) Premier Coverage rider, designed to help pet owners pay for routine care procedures, reimburses $100 for dental cleaning. Benefits available with VPI's Premier Coverage rider renew annually, allowing pet owners to receive reimbursement for the procedure once a year.
