Pet Dentistry
Dental health plays a major role in your pet’s overall wellbeing. Without regular dental care, pets can develop pain, infection, and serious health complications.
Studies show that more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop dental disease by age three.
Common Signs of Dental Disease:
- Teeth covered with brown tartar
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Bad breath
- Excess drooling
- Trouble chewing food
- Pawing at the mouth
- Loose or missing teeth
- Changes in behavior or mood
Dental disease often progresses silently. Routine veterinary exams help detect issues early and prevent discomfort.
Why Dental Health Is Important
Plaque and bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs such as the heart and kidneys. Preventive dental care protects both oral and overall health.
We provide:
- Dental examinations
- Professional cleanings
- Home dental care guidance
- Brushing techniques and diet recommendations
Radiology and Digital X-Rays
Diagnostic imaging helps veterinarians identify injuries and internal conditions that cannot be detected during a physical exam alone.
