Periodontal disease impacts more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over age three, making it one of the most common health problems in pets. When bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream, they travel throughout the body, potentially damaging the heart, liver, and kidneys. Painful dental disease also prevents pets from eating properly and enjoying their meals. Regular dental care prevents these problems, protecting both your pet’s mouth and their overall health.
During dental procedures, our veterinarians perform complete oral examinations, remove tartar and plaque, polish teeth, and address any problems. We take digital dental X-rays to evaluate areas we cannot see during a visual examination, including tooth roots and jaw bones. With this thorough approach, we’re able to identify and treat problems before they cause pain or serious damage.
