Dental Care
Your pet's dental hygiene is crucial for their health. Plaque, tartar, periodontal disease, and infected teeth can serve as a source of inflammation and infection for the rest of the body.
Why do pets need dental care?
Dental disease is one of the most common problems in dogs and cats. It can cause drooling, pain, reluctance to eat, swelling, bad breath, redness of the gums, loose teeth and tooth discoloration.
When should I seek dental care for my pet?
​
Dental issues and dental related diseases can easily be prevented by visiting our veterinarians regularly for dental examinations and cleanings. We take a comprehensive approach to dental care including dental health assessment, treatment, and prevention.

How does it work?
​
Just like us, dogs and cats needs dental cleanings too! The only difference is we are required to use anesthesia to properly and safely examine and clean the teeth of your pet. After the cleaning, our veterinarians perform a thorough oral exam and check for diseases such as gum loss, root exposure, or infection. We also do full mouth radiographs (x-rays) to evaluate the roots of your pet's teeth and assess any abnormalities located below the gum line.
