Dental disease is a common problem in pets, and it can lead to pain, infection, and even death. We offer a variety of dental services to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy, including:
Teeth Cleaning
A teeth cleaning is a procedure that removes plaque and tartar from your pet’s teeth. Plaque is a sticky film that forms on your pet’s teeth and can lead to tartar buildup. Tartar is a hard, calcified substance that can cause gum disease and tooth loss.
During a teeth cleaning, your veterinarian will use a special tool to remove plaque and tartar from your pet’s teeth. They may also use a dental laser to remove tartar that is difficult to reach.
Dental X-rays
Dental X-rays can be used to detect problems with your pet’s teeth and gums that cannot be seen with the naked eye. For example, dental X-rays can be used to detect:
- Hidden cavities
- Gum disease
- Fractured teeth
- Impacted teeth
Dental Extractions
Dental extractions are a procedure that removes one or more of your pet’s teeth. Dental extractions may be necessary if your pet has:
- A tooth that is badly decayed
- A tooth that is broken
- A tooth that is impacted
- A tooth that is causing pain
Dental care is an important part of keeping your pet healthy. By taking your pet for regular dental checkups, you can help to prevent dental problems and keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.
