Routine dog and cat dental cleaning, dental x-rays and complex tooth extractions

Regular dental care is an important part of your dog or cat’s wellness program. Tartar buildup on their teeth not only causes bad breath, but can affect their ability to play and eat properly. Dental or periodontal (gum) disease can even attack their internal organs including the heart, liver, and kidneys.  Dental care should start in puppies and kittens with daily applications of the enzymatic toothpaste and should continue regularly at home during the life of your pet.

Unfortunately, we often don’t see our dog and cat friends until they have reached the stage of gingivitis and periodontal disease and we begin to notice that their breathe smells terrible.  Our pets don’t like the bad breath or the pain that comes with gum disease either.  We have an in-house laboratory to test blood samples to make sure that there are no underlying medical problems that may have led to the poor mouth condition and to make sure we are as safe as can be for anesthesia.  We use advanced anesthetic and monitoring protocols to ensure a safe dental procedure for your pet. 

If you’ve noticed any change in your dog or cat’s eating or chew-toy habits, gum swelling, tooth discoloration, or breath, please call us to schedule a dental checkup.
