Sparkling Smiles and Happy Tails with Exceptional Pet Dental Care
While we make caring for our teeth a daily ritual, our pets need the same attention to prevent chronic discomfort and dental issues. Routine dental care isn't just about pearly whites; it's a gateway to fewer heart, lung, kidney, and liver problems as your pet matures. Plus cleaner teeth mean fresher breath that'll have you snuggling up without hesitation.
Signs of Dental Disease in Pets
The telltale signs of dental disease start with the soft plaque causing gingivitis, and bad breath paired with reddened gums might just be the tip of the iceberg. Left unchecked, it progresses to periodontitis, risking tooth loss and nasty infections in the heart or kidneys. Fortunately, our team is here to help. Dr. Moore will check those chompers regularly, catching issues even before they become obvious.
What to Expect During a Pet Dental Cleaning and Exam
When it's time for a dental exam and cleaning, your pet's health takes center stage. Pre-anesthetic blood work ensures a low-risk anesthesia experience, a must for a thorough dental treatment.
During the cleaning, we check for abnormalities, remove plaque and tartar, and polish those teeth to perfection. If a loose or damaged tooth is discovered, extraction can happen right away. For advanced services like root canals or crowns, we can refer you to a trusted board-certified veterinary dentist.
Pet Dental Care at Home
There's more to dental care than just vet visits. At home, embrace the art of brushing your pet's teeth—a key ingredient for a dazzling smile and minty-fresh breath. Imagine the wonders it could do for your pet, who would surely thank you if they could.
