Dental Care

As a pet owner, it is important to know the ins and outs of your pet’s dental care. Good dental health is key for a pet’s overall health. During your pet’s wellness visit, our veterinarians will perform a full oral exam if possible. This exam helps our veterinarians determine the best course of treatment for your pet.

Here are some signs to look for if your pet needs a dental check-up:

• You may notice your cat or dog isn’t as interested in kibble
• Has terrible breath
• Weight loss

Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings can prevent your cat or dog from getting gingivitis or periodontal disease, this bacteria can cause:

• Oral infections that cause bleeding
• Damage to the soft tissues and bone anchoring the teeth
• Painful abscesses
• Bacteria entering the bloodstream
• Infections elsewhere in the body

Our professional veterinary team is here to help you decide when a dental cleaning or care is needed.
