Dentistry
Imagine what your mouth would feel and smell like if you had not brushed your teeth for 4 years. For many pets this is a painful reality that they do not receive routine dental care. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have Dental disease by the age of 3. Dental disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets and if left untreated can affect other organs in your pets body. It is also one of the major conditions that lead to Chronic Pain in pets, this puts your pet in a position of not only constant pain but will also impact their ability to eat and quality of life.

Dental disease if left untreated can lead to Chronic pain and affect other organs in the body; the bacteria from the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidney's, liver, lungs and heart. If these problems are not caught and treated quickly they can result in death. At every physical exam with our vets they will always examine the teeth and appropriate laboratory work can determine if the infection in the mouth has spread to other organs.
Dental Radiographs are considered the best standard of care when your pet is undergoing dental cleaning. This allows the vet to see below the gum-line, where the real problem is anything from broken teeth, abscesses to oral tumors.
This allows us to fully assess your pets mouth and develop the right treatment plan.
Even if your dog or cat do not have these symptoms, we recommend coming in yearly for a physical exam so can evaluate the level of periodontal disease progression every year. Remember your dog or cat cannot brush their teeth, bacteria and food debris accumulate around the teeth. If left unchecked will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. The decay can result in irreversible periodontal disease, tooth loss and possibly expensive oral surgery.
