Our Dental Services:
- Routine Dental Exams:
Regular dental check-ups are crucial in detecting early signs of dental disease. During a dental exam, our experienced veterinarians will thoroughly assess your pet’s teeth, gums, and mouth to identify any issues such as plaque buildup, gum disease, or tooth decay. - Professional Dental Cleaning:
Even with the best at-home care, plaque and tartar can accumulate on your pet’s teeth. Our professional dental cleanings, performed under safe anesthesia, remove these harmful deposits. This process includes scaling, polishing, and a full oral examination to ensure your pet’s mouth is clean and healthy. - Dental X-Rays:
Not all dental problems are visible on the surface. Our state-of-the-art dental x-rays allow us to see below the gumline, identifying hidden issues such as root infections, bone loss, or impacted teeth that may require attention. - Tooth Extractions:
In cases where a tooth is severely damaged or infected, extraction may be necessary to prevent further pain and infection. Our team is skilled in performing extractions with the utmost care, ensuring your pet’s comfort and recovery. - At-Home Dental Care Guidance:
Preventative care starts at home. We provide personalized advice on maintaining your pet’s dental health, including tips on brushing, choosing the right dental chews, and understanding the signs of dental disease.
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, affecting up to 80% of dogs and cats by the age of three. Poor oral health can lead to serious problems beyond the mouth, including heart, kidney, and liver disease. Regular dental care helps prevent these complications, ensuring a longer, healthier life for your pet.
Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Problems:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Discolored or loose teeth
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Difficulty eating or loss of appetite
- Drooling or pawing at the mouth
- Visible tartar buildup
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to schedule a dental check-up as soon as possible. Early intervention can prevent more serious health issues down the road.
