Dental Disease

Dental health is an important part of your pet’s overall health, and dental disease can lead to other health problems. Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked every 6 months by your veterinarian to check for early signs of a problem. Some common signs of dental disease include bad breath, inflamed gums, pain, swelling, itching, dropping food or refusing to chew crunchy food or treats. Most dogs and cats need professional dental cleanings once a year.

Dental Cleanings

Our professional dental cleanings include teeth scaling, polishing, sealant application, full mouth dental radiographs and an oral exam performed by the doctor, all while your pet is closely monitored and supported under anesthesia. Occasionally the oral exam and dental radiographs reveal dental disease significant enough to warrant periodontal therapy, root canal therapy or tooth extraction. Your pet’s doctor will discuss their findings with you and help you decide the best treatment option for you and your pet.
