What Is a COHAT?

We offer a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT)—a full-service dental procedure designed to diagnose, treat, and prevent dental disease in dogs and cats.

Each COHAT includes:

• Pre-anesthetic physical exam
• General anesthesia
• IV catheter and fluid therapy
• In-depth anesthetic monitoring (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, EKG, temperature)
• Full-mouth digital dental X-rays
• Ultrasonic and hand scaling (above and below the gum line)
• Polishing and fluoride treatment
• Complete dental charting
• Extractions (if needed)
• Pain control before and after the procedure
• Patient warming system
• Follow-up exam if necessary

Why Are Dental X-Rays Important?

Many severe dental conditions occur below the gum line. Our digital intraoral X-rays allow us to detect hidden problems, assess the health of roots and surrounding bone, and make informed treatment decisions.

Dental X-rays help detect:

• Periodontal disease
• Tooth fractures and root abscesses
• Retained or broken teeth
• Oral tumors or masses
• Bone infections
• Nasal cavity disease
• Resorptive lesions in cats
• Genetic dental abnormalities

Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work

We recommend pre-anesthetic blood work for all patients, especially those over 5 years old, to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. This includes a complete blood count (CBC) and chemistry panel. Blood work can be done on the day of the procedure or during a pre-op visit.

Aftercare: What to Expect

After a dental procedure, your pet may be drowsy and have a tender mouth. You may notice:

• Mild bleeding or blood-tinged saliva (especially after extractions)
• A preference for soft food for a few days
• Drowsiness for up to 24 hours after anesthesia

Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions, and we’re always here if you have questions.
