Why Dental Care Is Essential for Pet Health
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues affecting pets, yet it often goes unnoticed. Without regular cleanings and exams, bacteria and plaque buildup can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and even systemic issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Signs your pet may need dental care include:
- Bad breath
- Drooling or pawing at the mouth
- Trouble chewing
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Visible tartar on teeth
By investing in routine dental care, you can help your pet avoid pain and protect their long-term health.
Pet Teeth Cleaning: What to Expect
Our cat and dog teeth cleaning procedures are performed under general anesthesia to allow for a thorough, stress-free experience.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Pre-anesthetic screening and physical exam
- Safe, monitored anesthesia tailored to your pet’s needs
- Scaling and polishing to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria
- Dental X-rays to assess the roots and bone health
- Extractions or oral surgery, if needed, with pain management
- Home care guidance and recommendations for dental products
We take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the process.
