Additional Information

 

Dental Cleaning Services

Healthy Teeth, Healthier Pets

Dental care is a critical — yet often overlooked — part of your pet’s overall health. Without regular cleanings, bacteria from plaque and tartar buildup can lead to painful dental disease, infections, and even serious issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Why Dental Health Matters

Neglected oral hygiene can result in:

  • 🦷 Bad breath 
  • 🍽️ Decreased appetite or weight loss 
  • 🐾 Painful, infected gums and loose or broken teeth 
  • ❤️ Risk of heart, liver, and kidney disease from untreated infections
  • ⚠️ Shortened life expectancy due to chronic illness
     

Dental Services We Offer

  • Oral exams under anesthesia 
  • Dental cleanings (prophylaxis) 
  • Ultrasonic scaling and polishing 
  • Extractions, when necessary 
  • Pre-anesthetic blood work is available for added safety and required for pets age 10 and up (needs to be done at least 24 to 48 hours prior to appointment)
     

All dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia, and we ensure your pet’s comfort and safety at every step.


Cats & Dental Health

Over 70% of cats over age 3 suffer from some form of dental disease. Common signs include:

  • Drooling or bad breath 
  • Reduced appetite 
  • Red, bleeding, or swollen gums 
  • Discolored or missing teeth 
  • Weight loss or receding gums
     

A dental cleaning for your cat typically takes around 60 minutes, and they go home the same day.

🪥 Tip: Regular brushing at home with a feline-safe toothpaste helps prevent recurrence.


Dogs & Dental Health

Most adult dogs have 42 teeth by 8 months of age — and by age 4, many show signs of gum disease.

Symptoms to watch for:

  • Inflamed gums or loose teeth 
  • Bleeding or bad breath
  • Drooling or pawing at the mouth 
  • Growths or cysts under the tongue
     

Daily brushing, dental chews, and professional cleanings all help protect your dog from serious dental problems.


At-Home Dental Care

We encourage all pet parents to take part in their pet’s dental routine at home. We can recommend:

  • Pet-safe toothbrushes and pastes 
  • Finger brushes 
  • Dental diets and chews 
  • Water additives and rinses
     

📅 Routine cleanings and home care can extend your pet’s life and keep them happy and pain-free.
