Good oral health promotes good body health through
Pet Dentistry.
The truth about dental health in pets.
Studies have shown that most pets show signs of dental disease by age three. Dental disease is not just a problem for your pet’s mouth. Pet dental disease can also affect other parts of the body. Bacteria from dental infections can enter the bloodstream and spread to vital organs, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, leading to serious health issues. Regular dental care helps prevent these problems and plays a role in keeping your pet healthy throughout their life.
Keeping teeth clean with complete pet dental care services.
Our qualified veterinarians provide complete pet dentistry services.
- Dental Exams: Regular pet dental exams are crucial for detecting early signs of dental disease. Our veterinarians will thoroughly examine your pet’s teeth and gums to identify any issues and create a personalized dental care plan.
- Dental Cleanings: Professional pet dental cleanings, also known as “dentals,” remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be addressed with at-home care alone. We recommend annual dental cleanings under anesthesia to maintain your pet’s dental health and prevent disease.
- Digital Dental X-rays: Digital dental X-rays provide a detailed view of your pet’s teeth and jaw structure. These images help us identify problems below the gum line that are not visible during a regular exam.
- Tooth Extractions: An extraction may be necessary if a tooth is severely damaged or infected. Our skilled veterinarians perform extractions safely and effectively, ensuring your pet’s comfort and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Common signs of dental disease include bad breath, red or swollen gums, difficulty eating, drooling, and loose or missing teeth. If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an exam with our veterinarians.
We recommend annual dental exams for all pets to detect early signs of dental disease and maintain good oral health.
Anesthesia is necessary for dental cleanings because our veterinary team needs your pet to remain still for an extended period of time. This sedation allows our veterinarians to thoroughly clean your pet’s teeth and examine their mouth without causing stress or pain.
Regular pet X-rays provide images of larger areas of the body to diagnose issues like fractures, tumors, or internal organ problems. Dental pet X-rays, on the other hand, focus specifically on the teeth and jaw, providing detailed images that help identify issues below the gum line, such as tooth root abscesses, bone loss, and other dental conditions.
