-Dental extractions
-Treatment of dental disease and infections
If more advanced or specialized care is needed, we can refer your pet to a board-certified veterinary dentist.
Understanding Dental Disease in Pets
Dental (periodontal) disease is one of the most common health conditions in pets. By the age of three, most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease. Without proper care, this can lead to pain, infection, and difficulty eating.
Common signs include:
-Tartar buildup on teeth
-Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
-Bad breath
-Drooling
-Changes in eating or chewing habits
-Pawing at the face
-Loose teeth
Even if your pet isn’t showing obvious symptoms, regular dental evaluations are important for early detection.
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental disease doesn’t just affect the mouth. Bacteria from untreated dental issues can enter the bloodstream and impact organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent more serious health complications.
