The Importance of Dental Care
It’s important to keep up with your pet’s teeth. Not only will it help with the overall appearance (and smell!), but bacteria under the gum can affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Did you know that 80% of pets have dental disease!? 4 out of 5 dogs by the age of three have some sort of periodontal disease. The longer plaque and tartar stay on the teeth, the worse the infection can become. Eventually simple plaque and tartar will become gingivitis. Ultimately, gingivitis will progress into periodontal disease.
With periodontal disease, the gum will pull away from the teeth and the space in-between becomes infected. You can stay ahead of that by bringing your animals in for routine dental check-ups and teeth cleanings.
Dental Cleanings
Just like humans, pets benefit greatly from regular dental cleanings (around once a year), which can prevent the development of harmful diseases that can affect their overall health.
Dental Exams
During your pet’s wellness exam, we examine the mouth for signs of dental issues like gum disease, loose teeth, or infections. If problems exist, we will work with you to discuss the best next steps.

Our expertise helps diagnose issues like cavities and infections. When needed, we perform precise tooth extractions for painful teeth. Our commitment to patient care ensures we provide compassionate solutions to restore oral health.
