The Truth About Pet Dentistry: Laura and Marty discuss why anesthesia is required for a safe and effective dental cleaning. Scraping teeth while a pet is awake actually accelerates tartar build-up and prevents veterinarians from x-raying teeth or cleaning under the gum line. Advocating for Surgical Safety: Learn how to advocate for your pet before they go under anesthesia by requesting pre-op bloodwork, EKGs, and safe anesthetic agents. Marty also highly recommends paying an extra $5 to ensure your vet uses a brand-new, single-use endotracheal tube to protect your pet's airway from irritation or infection. At-Home Dental Care: Brushing your pet's teeth is the gold standard for dental health. Marty explains how to train your pet to accept toothbrushing and recommends using VOHC -endorsed products or a clear gel called LivFresh , which chelates calcium to stop tartar from hardening.","meta_description":"The Complete Guide to Pet Dental Health: Anesthesia Safety & At-Home Care Join hosts Laura and Marty to learn why anesthesia is absolutely necessary f…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2156,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-marty-laura-show-7153313/episodes/70-the-complete-guide-to-pet-dental-health-anesthesia-safety-at-home-care/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-marty-laura-show-7153313/70-the-complete-guide-to-pet-dental-health-anesthesia-safety-at-home-care.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
