We Make Pet Dental Care a High Priority
To help your pet enjoy a long life and consistently good health, they need regular dental care. This includes routine care at home and yearly checkups to see if they need a professional cleaning. Your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall health. This means that if your pet’s mouth is infected, other areas of their body are likely affected as well.
Treatment Options for a Healthier Smile
Our full-service medical facility offers complete care for oral health problems:
- Dental X-rays
- Thorough teeth cleaning and polishing
- Oral surgery
- Tooth extractions
- Products for at-home use including toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental chews and treats, and more
For the very best care, we use digital dental X-rays to fully evaluate your pet’s teeth and check for hidden damage. Most oral issues, including dental disease, occur below the gum line and out of sight. Furthermore, we only perform all of our dental services when our patients are under general anesthesia. This ensures that we're detecting all existing problems and treating them correctly, while also keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Our hospital provides tailored pain management for all patients before, during, and after their dental procedure.
Is Anesthesia Safe For Pets?
Our hospital is equipped with the most up-to-date monitoring tools and anesthesia. In addition, we require that all patients undergo a full physical exam and blood work prior to their surgery in order to assess their health. We also tailor every pet’s anesthesia to their health, age, weight, and temperament. This allows us to reduce any potential risks and make surgery much safer. Furthermore, every pet has an assigned technician watching over them and keeping them comfortable for the duration.
Providing Dental Care for Your Pet at Home
After every dental procedure, we send patients home with complimentary dental care products to encourage at-home treatment. We hope to instill positive habits and show pet parents that home dental care can go a long way towards keeping their loved ones healthier, longer.
