Why Dental Care Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, yet it often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful or advanced. Regular dental checkups and cleanings help detect issues early and prevent more serious problems from developing. Left untreated, periodontal disease can impact the heart, liver, and kidneys, making proactive care essential.
Our pet dentistry services aim to support long-term health through early detection and prevention.
How to Tell If Your Pet Needs Dental Care
Many pets show subtle signs of oral discomfort that may be overlooked during daily routines. It’s important to monitor for changes that may indicate dental problems.
Common symptoms that a pet may need dental care include:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Drooling more than usual
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Difficulty chewing or dropping food
- Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Loose or missing teeth
- Decreased interest in eating hard food or treats
If your pet displays any of these signs, contact us immediately. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes and less invasive treatment.
Comprehensive Dog Teeth Cleaning and Dental Services

- Professional pet teeth cleaning
- Teeth polishing to smooth the enamel and reduce future plaque buildup
- Dental X-rays to evaluate health below the gumline
- Tooth extractions when necessary

At-Home Dental Care for Long-Term Health
Professional care is important, but maintaining oral health also requires regular attention at home. More than 70% of dogs and cats show signs of periodontal disease by age three. Daily or weekly oral hygiene practices can significantly reduce your pet’s risk.
Our veterinary technicians provide hands-on guidance to help you:
- Choose appropriate toothbrushes and dental products
- Learn safe brushing techniques
