Dental Care
We believe the centerpiece of good dental care is a complete oral exam
followed by a thorough cleaning under the gum line with ultrasonic scalers designed to remove plaque and slow its buildup.
Your pet’s dental appointment will include:
Oral examinations under anesthesia
Diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease
Full mouth digital X-rays
Supra and sub-gingival scaling
Tooth extractions
Polishing
Irrigation
Symptoms of dental disease to look out for include:
Bad breath—one of the first signs of dental disease
A yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line
Red and swollen gums
Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched
Decreased appetite or difficulty eating
Loose or missing teeth
Dental Care at Home
In between regular appointments, check your pet’s teeth regularly for signs of problems.
Brushing their teeth is the single most important procedure you can do to maintain good oral health.
If performed regularly, brushing dramatically decreases the incidence of gingivitis and can save a lot of pain and money in the long run.
