What Is Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery?
Veterinary dentistry involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and oral health issues in pets. Over time, plaque and tartar buildup can lead to periodontal disease, which may cause pain, tooth loss, and even affect your pet’s heart, liver, or kidneys if left untreated.
Our veterinary dentistry services include thorough dental cleanings under anesthesia, full oral examinations, digital dental x-rays, and treatment of oral diseases such as gingivitis, infected teeth, or oral tumors. When necessary, oral surgery may be performed to extract damaged teeth, remove growths, or correct structural issues, ensuring your pet remains pain-free and healthy.
When Veterinary Dentistry May Be Recommended
Professional dental care may be necessary if your pet exhibits signs of oral health problems, such as:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Drooling or pawing at the mouth
- Loose, broken, or missing teeth
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Facial swelling or oral growths
- Discolored teeth or visible tartar buildup
- Behavioral changes related to oral pain
