Dental Examinations
Routine dental exams are essential for maintaining your pet’s health. During these visits, we evaluate the teeth, gums, and jaw to detect early signs of dental issues and recommend appropriate care.
Common signs of dental problems may include:
- Bad breath
- Plaque or tartar buildup
- Red or bleeding gums
- Tooth decay or loss
- Changes in appetite
Digital Dental Radiology
Not all dental problems are visible during a standard exam. Digital dental X-rays allow us to examine beneath the gums and inside the teeth to uncover hidden issues.
Because pets often mask pain, this advanced imaging helps detect infections, fractures, and other concerns early. For accuracy and safety, pets are gently placed under anesthesia during the procedure.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are an important part of your pet’s preventive care. If you notice tartar buildup, bad breath, or discomfort while eating, it may be time for a cleaning.
During the procedure, we:
- Remove plaque and tartar
- Polish the teeth
- Take dental X-rays
- Apply protective treatments to support oral health
At-Home Dental Care
Maintaining your pet’s oral health at home is key to preventing dental disease. Plaque buildup can lead to periodontal disease, but regular care can significantly reduce this risk.
Helpful at-home care tips include:
- Use pet-safe toothbrushes and toothpaste
- Brush regularly in a calm, well-lit environment
- Reward your pet to encourage positive habits
