Dental Care 

When tartar builds up on your pet's teeth, it starts as soft plaque and eventually hardens. This can lead to gum inflammation, gum recession, pain, infection and loose teeth. Just like people, pets can suffer from periodontal disease, gingivitis, and tooth decay, causing bad breath and painful infections. Untreated, these issues can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream, potentially harming the heart, kidneys, and liver. Regular dental check-ups, routine cleanings, good nutrition, and home brushing can significantly extend your pet's life and save you money, as prevention is cheaper than treatment. Most pets show signs of gum disease by age 3-4. If your pet has bad breath or oral health concerns, call us today to create a plan together.

What goes into a dental cleaning for my pet?

Unlike people, pets can't tell us when a tooth hurts or sit still for a dental exam. That's why a professional dental procedure under anesthesia is the safest and most effective way to evaluate and treat your pet's oral health.
During your pet's dental procedure, we will:

• Perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to help ensure anesthesia is safe for your pet.
  
• Prescribe antibiotics beforehand if your pet has signs of a significant dental infection.
  
• ​Place an intravenous (IV) catheter to provide fluids during the procedure and allow immediate access to medications if needed.
• Administer general anesthesia so your pet remains comfortable and we can perform a complete oral examination safely.
• Take full-mouth dental X-rays to evaluate the teeth below the gum line and identify hidden disease that can't be seen during a visual exam.
• ​Continuously monitor your pet's heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels, body temperature, and anesthetic depth throughout the procedure.
• Professionally clean, scale and polish the teeth above and below the gum line using advanced dental equipment.
• ​Extract any diseased or damaged teeth if necessary to relieve pain and prevent ongoing infection.
• Provide a therapeutic laser treatment after extractions to help reduce discomfort and support healing.
  
• Closely monitor your pet while they recover with a dedicated veterinary professional until they are awake and ready to go home.
  

Because every pet's dental health is different, each procedure is tailored to your pet's individual needs.
