Pet Dental Health
Dental disease is frequently uncomfortable and can significantly reduce a dog or cat’s life by gradually destroying the tissue that supports their teeth and spreading harmful bacteria throughout their bloodstream. At our clinic, we prioritize pet dental health by treating dental diseases and offering routine cleaning procedures and home maintenance guidance to ensure your pet can live a pain-free and longer life.
Our team of veterinarians is dedicated to maintaining your pet’s dental health through regular exams and cleanings. While these are recommended for all dogs and cats, there are specific warning signs that your pet may need immediate dental attention. We advise pet owners to inspect their pet’s teeth at least once a week in addition to regular brushing. If you notice any concerning signs, contact us to schedule an appointment.
We understand the importance of anesthesia in dental procedures and ensure it is administered and monitored effectively by our experienced veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Using modern and efficient techniques, we tailor anesthesia and patient monitoring to keep your pet safe and comfortable during their dental treatments.
