Dental Care

It is important to have your pet checked for dental disease, as this disease can have major impacts on your pet’s organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys.  Typically, after the age of 2 or 3, most dogs and cats will need a dental every 1 to 2 years. Assessment by your veterinarian will allow you to discuss your pet’s dental health and if excessive plaque or periodontal disease requires a cleaning.

​70-85% of pets over the age of 2 have some form of dental disease. Here are some signs that your pet may have dental disease:
  • Bad breath
  • Yellow, brown, or discolored teeth
  • Loose teeth
  • Red, inflamed gum
  • Swollen mouth, jaws, or gums
  • Doesn’t play with chew toys as often
  • Pain when eating

Before performing any procedure requiring anesthesia, we recommend pre-anesthetic blood work to confirm that your pet’s organs are functioning properly and to reveal any hidden health conditions that could put your pet at risk.  It’s important to ensure that your pet can properly process and then eliminate the anesthetic he or she is given. 
​
Though very small, anesthesia is a very real risk for dogs and cats, just as it is for humans. We take care to further reduce the risks of anesthesia by following a proactive protocol to assess our patients and monitor their care throughout the surgical procedure, including pre-anesthetic testing, inhalant gas, electronic monitoring, and intravenous fluids. 

Our team monitors each patient throughout the surgical procedure to ensure the patient is responding appropriately to the anesthesia. We use very safe anesthetics and monitor your pet for any adverse reactions as they recover.  Call today if you have any questions or would like to schedule your pet's surgery.
