What Is Pet Dentistry?
Veterinary dentistry involves more than just clean teeth—it includes the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral health issues like periodontal disease, broken or loose teeth, oral infections, and more.
Our dental services include:
- Comprehensive oral exams
- Professional dental cleanings (scaling and polishing)
- Digital dental X-rays
- Tooth extractions (when necessary)
- Treatment for gum disease and infections
- At-home dental care guidance
Why Dental Care Matters for Your Pet
Dental disease is one of the most common—and most overlooked—health issues in pets. In fact, by age three, over 70% of cats and 80% of dogs show signs of periodontal disease. Left untreated, dental problems can lead to chronic pain, tooth loss, and infections that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Routine dental care helps:
- Prevent pain and tooth loss
- Control bad breath
- Reduce the risk of systemic infections
- Improve overall quality of life
- Support long-term health and wellness
What to Expect During a Dental Visit
Here’s what a typical dental appointment includes:
- Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork: To ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.
- Full-Mouth Examination: Assessing gums, teeth, and oral structures.
- Dental Radiographs: Capturing images below the gum line to detect hidden issues.
- Scaling & Polishing: Removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.
- Extractions (if needed): Removing damaged or painful teeth.
- Home Care Instructions: Helping you maintain your pet’s dental health between visits.
