Why Dental Care Matters for Pets

Just like people, pets are at risk of developing dental disease if their teeth and gums aren’t properly cared for. Plaque and tartar build up over time, leading to bad breath, pain, tooth loss, and serious infections. Left untreated, oral bacteria can even enter the bloodstream and damage the heart, liver, or kidneys.

Our Pet Dentistry Services

Routine pet dental care is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your dog or cat’s overall health. That’s why we recommend annual dental exams and, when needed, professional veterinary teeth cleaning to remove tartar below the gumline and prevent disease progression.

During your pet’s dental procedure, our veterinary team closely monitors their health and ensures their safety with advanced anesthesia protocols. After treatment, we’ll provide guidance on at-home care to help maintain your pet’s oral health. Our dental care services include:

Preventing Dental Disease at Home

While professional cleanings are essential, at-home dental care is equally important. Brushing your pet’s teeth with pet-safe toothpaste a few times per week is the gold standard for prevention. Our team may also recommend water additives, oral rinses, dental treats, or prescription diets designed to reduce plaque buildup.

We’re here to help you choose the best dental care routine for your pet’s needs and lifestyle.
