Why Pets Need Regular Oral Exams and Teeth Cleanings

Routine dental exams and cleanings are critical for your pet, just as they are for you. Over time, dogs and cats can develop plaque and tartar that, if not addressed, may lead to gingivitis or more severe health complications affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Often, pets do not show obvious signs of dental disease, so we need to work together to look for those signs and take action to reverse them.

Signs of Dental Issues in Dogs and Cats

The American Veterinary Dental College highlights the following signs as indicators of dental diseases in dogs and cats:

  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose or missing teeth

  • Reluctance to being touched around the mouth
  • Excessive drooling or food falling from the mouth
  • Bleeding gums

Our Teeth Cleaning Services for Dogs and Cats

Our dental care offerings include a variety of treatments and preventative measures for dogs and cats:

  • Detailed oral examinations
  • Dental cleaning (scaling and polishing)
  • Endodontic treatments
  • Dental imaging for comprehensive below-the-gum assessments
  • Tooth extractions
  • Treatment for gum diseases and oral conditions
  • Procedures for oral tumors and excessive gum growth
  • Guidance on dental care at home

To ensure a thorough cleaning and a comprehensive oral examination, sedation is necessary, as recommended by the American Veterinary Dental College. We include pre-anesthetic evaluations and blood tests before any procedure to confirm your pet’s readiness for sedation and medication.

Maintaining Your Dog's and Cat's Dental Health at Home

By the time they reach three years old, nearly half of all dogs and cats may experience some level of gum disease. Starting dental care early in life is crucial for preventing future dental problems. We understand that not every pet will tolerate daily brushing, but we're here to assist you in developing a tailored dental care plan for your pet.

For tips on how to maintain your pet’s dental health or if you suspect they might be suffering from gum disease, contact us soon at (954) 473-8090 to set up an appointment!
