Benefits of Dog & Cat Dental Care

Regular pet dental care offers many health benefits beyond just a clean mouth. From preventing serious diseases to improving your pet's overall comfort, maintaining their dental health is essential for their well-being. Key advantages of our pet dentistry include:

  • Preventing Dental Disease: Regular dental care helps prevent common oral health issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and plaque buildup, which can lead to more serious conditions if left untreated.
  • Improving Overall Health: Dental problems can affect other parts of your pet's body, leading to heart, liver, or kidney issues. Keeping your pet's teeth healthy contributes to their overall well-being.
  • Reducing Bad Breath: Professional cleaning helps eliminate bacteria and plaque buildup, reducing foul-smelling breath caused by dental problems.
  • Better Quality of Life: A healthy mouth supports your pet's comfort and quality of life, making it easier for them to enjoy food, play, and interact with you.

Our Pet Dentistry Services

We provide a range of dog and cat dental care services to keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy. From routine care to more advanced treatments, we aim to address your pet's specific dental needs with precision and care. Our dog and cat dental care includes:

  • Tooth Extraction: Our team performs safe and precise tooth extractions for pets with damaged, decayed, or infected teeth. This procedure helps relieve pain and prevents further dental issues, promoting better oral health for your pet.
  • Full Mouth Radiographs: We provide full-mouth radiographs to get a complete view of your pet's dental health. These x-rays help us identify hidden issues such as tooth decay, root infections, and bone loss, allowing us to address problems early and improve your pet's oral care.
  • Dental Cleaning: Our dental cleaning service includes the removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your pet's teeth, both above and below the gum line. This treatment helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, keeping your pet's mouth fresh and healthy.
  • Mass Removal: If any oral masses or growths are found during the exam or x-rays, we can remove them with surgical precision. Whether the growth is benign or malignant, prompt removal is key to preserving your pet's health and preventing complications.

Our Pet Dentistry Process

Our pet dentistry process begins with a consultation to discuss your pet's dental needs and health status. We also perform blood work to assess your pet's overall health before the procedure. Once everything is ready, you'll drop off your pet in the morning, and our team will prepare them for the dental treatment.

We monitor your pet closely throughout the procedure, keeping them comfortable and safe. After the dental work is complete, they'll be given time to recover under our care. Once fully awake, we'll contact you to arrange a pickup time so you can bring your pet home.

Dog & Cat Dental Care FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding our pet dental care. Our team is ready to answer your questions and guide you throughout your pet’s care. Common questions include:

What are the signs that my pet needs a dental checkup?

Common signs include bad breath, difficulty eating, excessive drooling, inflamed or bleeding gums, and pawing at the mouth. If you notice any of these signs, scheduling a dental checkup with our vet as soon as possible is important.

Brushing your pet's teeth regularly with pet-safe toothpaste is a great way to maintain their oral health. Additionally, providing dental chews or toys can help reduce plaque buildup.

No, human toothpaste contains ingredients like xylitol that are toxic to pets. Always use toothpaste specifically designed for pets, as it is safe for them to swallow and comes in flavors they enjoy.
