Why Your Pet Should See a Dentist
Regular dental cleaning and maintenance can prevent serious health issues related to the mouth, teeth, and gums. Periodontal diseases are fairly common and potentially harmful to your pet, and can ultimately be avoided or mitigated by incorporating routine dental checkups into your pet’s veterinary care plan. Veterinary dentists provide the following services:
Dental cleaning
Dental surgery
Removal of teeth
Gum disease treatment and prevention
Mouth-related genetic defect treatment
Lab evaluations and blood work
We can run tests and blood analysis in order to pinpoint the specific dental issue problem that your pet may be facing, along with any additional problems that may have been missed by your regular veterinarian.
Dental X-rays
Our advanced imaging systems help our team quickly and accurately diagnose any mouth-related health issue in animals.
General anesthesia for both exams and treatments
Anesthesia is required for most regular dental cleaning as well as for other specialized procedures that we may perform. Our veterinary dentistry team is trained to effectively and safely administer local and general anesthesia to pets.
Medication
It is often necessary to use medication to treat ongoing or acute mouth-related health problems. Our pharmacy can provide prescribed medications to help ease the symptoms or causes of your pet’s dental health issue.
Our hospital strives to remain on the forefront of veterinary dental medicine through providing continuing education and maintaining state-of-the-art facilities and practices. To learn more about our veterinary dentistry team and what they have to offer, click below.
