Dental CareDental care is an essential part of your pet’s overall health. When oral hygiene is neglected, pets can develop dental disease which negatively affects other systems in the body and may lead to tooth loss. A pet's dental health is just as important as their physical health, however, it often goes overlooked. The reality is that oral hygiene plays a huge part in ensuring your pet lives a long, healthy life. Pets that fracture their teeth or end up developing dental disease will likely require dental surgery at some point in their life. Our experienced veterinarians can help your pet remain happy, healthy, and free from dental pain.
Teeth are scaled and then cleaned using our Cavitron, an ultrasonic scaler. If extractions are considered, digital dental l X-rays are taken. Any necessary extractions are then performed using our IM3 high speed dental drill. All the teeth will be charted to track extractions and follow teeth that may need future attention, and finally the teeth are polished. If extractions are performed your pet should be feed a soft or wet food diet for 2 weeks, or until the recheck visit.
