HOW WE HELP WITH PET DENTAL DISEASE PREVENTION
Dental disease causes many health problems that are preventable with the right dental care regimen. If your pet is in need of our professional dental services, we can offer:
Teeth cleaning procedures, which involve scaling and polishing your pet’s teeth, will remove plaque and tartar while smoothing enamel surfaces
Digital, full-mouth dental X-rays to inspect the teeth internally and look for subgingival (below the gum line) damage
Tooth extractions and other minor oral surgeries
CAT AND DOG DENTAL TIPS: WHAT YOU CAN DO AT HOME
To manage your pet’s oral health between professional cleanings, you can:
BRUSHING TEETH
Brushing your pet’s teeth daily is highly recommended. Daily brushing reduces plaque buildup and keeps their mouth cleaner and healthier.
TREATS AND FOOD
Try switching your pet to a tartar-control diet and giving them dental chews (for dogs only) instead of treats.
WIPES AND ADDITIVES
Use oral wipes and water additives if your pet is resistant to having their teeth brushed.
EXAMINE MOUTH
Be on the lookout for signs of an oral problem, such as excessive drooling, bad breath, difficulty eating, swollen gums, and decreased activity.
