Importance of Dental Care for Pets

Just like humans, pets can experience dental issues such as plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. Regular dental care can prevent these conditions from developing and help avoid pain, tooth loss, or systemic health issues caused by untreated oral infections. By incorporating dental care into your pet’s routine, you help maintain their well-being.

Bad breath (halitosis)
Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth (plaque and tartar)
Red or swollen gums

Difficulty chewing or eating

Drooling excessively

Pawing at the mouth

Loose or missing teeth

Bleeding from the mouth

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to schedule an appointment with a pet dentist to assess your pet’s dental health.

Comprehensive Dental Examinations

Our veterinarians conduct thorough dental exams to assess your pet’s oral health and identify any signs of dental disease.

Extractions and Advanced Dental Procedures

For pets with severe dental disease or damaged teeth, extractions or other surgical procedures may be necessary to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.

Teeth Cleaning and Polishing

Professional dog teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Polishing the teeth helps prevent future buildup.

Dental X-rays

We use dental radiology to evaluate the health of your pet’s teeth and gums below the surface, identifying hidden problems such as root damage or abscesses.

Benefits of Regular Pet Dental Care

Routine dental care has numerous benefits for your pet’s health and well-being. Key advantages include:

Preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections
Reducing the risk of systemic health problems linked to poor dental health, such as heart and kidney disease
Minimizing pain and discomfort caused by dental issues
Enhancing your pet’s breath and overall oral hygiene
Preserving the function and integrity of your pet’s teeth

How to Maintain Your Pet’s Oral Health at Home

While professional dental care is essential, you can also support your pet’s oral health at home with regular brushing and dental chews. Using pet-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste can help remove plaque and prevent tartar buildup. Providing dental-friendly toys and treats can also contribute to better oral hygiene.
