Why Dental Health Matters

Good dental care is essential for your pet’s overall health. Dental disease can cause pain, bad breath, and behavioral changes. Left untreated, it can lead to serious conditions affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Pets rely on their teeth for eating, playing, and interacting—so keeping their mouths healthy helps them stay happy and comfortable.

Professional Dental Care for Cats & Dogs

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, and regular cleanings are key to prevention. Our process includes:

1. Examination – A full oral check-up to assess dental health.
2. X-Rays – Digital imaging to detect hidden problems below the gumline.
3. Cleaning – Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gums.
4. Polishing – Smoothing teeth to slow future tartar buildup.
5. Additional Protection – Fluoride or sealants may be applied.
6. Extractions (if needed) – Removing severely damaged teeth to prevent pain and infection.
7. Pain Medication and Antibiotics

All procedures require general anesthesia to ensure a thorough, stress-free cleaning. As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we follow the highest safety standards.

At-Home Dental Care

Daily brushing is the best way to extend the time between professional cleanings. If brushing is difficult, we can recommend effective alternatives, such as:

• Dental chews
• Water additives
• Dental wipes
• Prescription dental diets

Keeping up with your pet’s dental health improves their quality of life and helps prevent costly treatments down the road. Our team is happy to guide you in finding the best dental care routine for your pet!
