Pet Dental Care
Imagine if you never brushed your teeth or had them cleaned. Pretty frightening, right? Over time, teeth would decay, gums would become inflamed, and bacteria from oral infections could travel through your bloodstream, leading to serious health issues. The same thing can happen to our pets.
Dog & Cat Dental Services
Dental health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being. In fact, by age three, over 80% of dogs and approximately 70% of cats show signs of periodontal disease. Small breed dogs and older cats are particularly susceptible, but any pet can be at risk without proper care.
At My Vet Animal Hospital, we offer a full range of pet dental services, including:
- Dental exams
- Annual dental cleanings
- Dental X-rays
- Tooth extractions
Following American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) guidelines, all dental cleanings and procedures are performed under anesthesia. To ensure your pet is safe, we conduct routine blood tests prior to the procedure.
Preventive Dental Care
Brushing your pet’s teeth several times a week is the best way to prevent plaque and tartar buildup. Not sure how to start? Ask one of our veterinarians for a demonstration. For pets who don’t tolerate brushing, we can recommend effective dental products to support oral health between cleanings.
Protecting your pet’s smile is part of protecting their overall health. Schedule a dental evaluation today and keep your companion happy, healthy, and pain-free!
