Why Pet Dental Care Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues affecting cats and dogs. By age three, most pets show signs of periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss, chronic pain, and even heart, liver, or kidney damage if left untreated.
Regular pet dental care helps:
- Prevent bad breath, gum disease, and tooth decay
- Detect oral health problems early
- Protect vital organs from the spread of oral bacteria
- Improve your pet’s comfort, eating habits, and quality of life
An untreated mouth can harbor bacteria that impact your pet’s entire body. Preventive care and early treatment from a qualified pet dentist can make all the difference.
What to Expect from Your Pet’s Dental Visit
Pre-Procedure Assessment
We begin with a physical exam and, if needed, lab work to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.
Anesthetic Dental Cleaning
Your pet receives a thorough scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline.
Digital Dental X-Rays
We take full-mouth X-rays to identify issues like root infections, bone loss, or hidden decay.
Treatment Planning
If oral surgery or extractions are needed, we’ll walk you through the steps and aftercare.
Recovery and At-Home Guidance
Your pet will recover comfortably with pain relief and detailed post-op instructions.
