Dental Care for Pets
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats. Plaque and tartar build up on the teeth over time, leading to sore gums, bad breath, and loose or painful teeth. Because pets are good at hiding pain, many owners never realize their pet's mouth hurts until the problem is advanced.
Dental health affects more than the mouth. Bacteria from infected gums can travel through the bloodstream and strain the heart, liver, and kidneys. Keeping your pet's teeth clean is a real investment in their overall health and comfort, not just fresher breath.
Our veterinarians check your pet's teeth and gums at every exam. When a cleaning is needed, we perform it under anesthesia so we can clean below the gum line, where the worst disease hides. If we find damaged or infected teeth, we can treat them during the same procedure, including extractions when a tooth cannot be saved.
What to Expect with Dental Care
Every visit follows four caring steps, so you and your pet always know what comes next.
Dental Exam
Your veterinarian examines your pet's mouth, teeth, and gums, and talks with you about any signs of trouble you have seen at home.
Pre-Anesthetic Check
Before a cleaning, we run lab work and check your pet's health to make sure anesthesia is as safe as possible.
Cleaning and Treatment
Under anesthesia, we clean and polish every tooth above and below the gum line, and treat or remove damaged teeth as needed.
Home Care Plan
We send your pet home with clear instructions and tips for keeping their teeth healthy between professional cleanings.
