Healthy Mouth, Healthier Pet
Dental health is an essential part of your pet’s overall well-being. Just like in people, poor oral health in pets can lead to pain, infection, and even problems affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental care helps keep your pet comfortable, prevents disease, and supports a longer, healthier life.
Why Dental Care Matters
By age three, most dogs and cats show signs of periodontal disease, which can progress without obvious symptoms.
Common signs of dental disease include:
- Bad breath
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup
- Red or bleeding gums
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Pawing at the mouth
- Drooling or dropping food
If left untreated, dental disease can lead to tooth loss, infection, and chronic pain.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia, allowing for a complete and thorough cleaning both above and below the gumline.
Before the procedure, we perform a physical exam and may recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your pet is a good candidate for anesthesia.
Preventive Care Makes a Difference
Routine dental care can prevent pain, reduce the risk of serious health issues, and improve your pet’s quality of life.
