Dental Care

Does your best friend have bad breath? Despite what many pet owners may believe, dog breath is not just a nuisance its a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria lead to plaque and tartar buildup on your pets teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth. Even if you are using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are frequently not enough to keep dental disease in check. Ask us about the best ways to control plaque and help protect your pet from dental disease.

A dental cleaning can cost you around $230.00. But dental hygiene is an important part of your pet's health! Did you know that dental disease can be associated with other serious health problems such as heart disease and kidney disease. The money you spend on your pets dental care now can save his life later.

How do you know if your pet has a healthy mouth? Let us examine your pets teeth and gums to help determine if there are any dental issues you should know about. After a brief visual examination, we may recommend a more detailed examination (which requires sedation), a dental cleaning, or options for at-home dental care.

Even if you think your pets teeth and gums are fine, we can offer expert advice to help you keep them that way! Dental health shouldn't be taken for granted. Fortunately, many dental problems can be managed through at-home care and by bringing your pet to us for regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings.

We want your pet to live a long, healthy life, and we understand that maintaining a healthy mouth is part of that. Your pets health is important to us, so let us help you with this commitment. Call today to discuss your pets dental care needs and how we can help!
