Dental Care

We understand that dental health plays a crucial role in the overall well-being of your animal, and we are committed to providing quality dental care to ensure a happy and healthy life.

Why is dental care important for pets?

Good dental health is essential to avoid conditions such as gingivitis, infections, and periodontal diseases, which can have a negative impact on your pet’s overall health. Regular dental care helps maintain a healthy mouth, prevent pain associated with dental problems, and promote optimal quality of life for your cat or dog.

How often should I have my pet's teeth examined?

The frequency of dental exams depends on various factors such as breed, age, and your pet’s current dental health. Generally, an annual dental exam is recommended to detect and prevent dental issues. However, some animals may require more frequent exams. Our veterinary team will assess these individual factors during regular visits and advise you on the optimal frequency of dental exams for your pet.

What do professional dental cleaning procedures involve?

Professional dental cleaning procedures, also known as dental prophylaxis, are essential for maintaining good oral health in pets. These procedures involve:

• Scaling: Removal of tartar and dental plaque using special instruments. Tartar can accumulate on the teeth and cause dental problems if not regularly removed.
• Polishing: Smoothing the tooth surfaces after scaling to reduce roughness and prevent future plaque buildup.
• Thorough examination: Inspection of teeth, gums, and the oral cavity to detect any signs of dental problems, gum diseases, or other abnormalities.

These procedures are performed under general anesthesia to ensure the pet’s safety.
