Why Should I Bring My Pet to a Vet Dentist?
Dogs and cats are naturally curious creatures who are often open-minded about what they consider food. Food particles and foreign objects can get trapped in their oral cavity, breeding bacteria, and possibly leading to infection and periodontal disease. These infections could eventually travel into their bloodstream and cause serious health issues and severe pain if left untreated.
Common signs of infection and possible dental disease in your pets include:
- Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Changes in eating or chewing habits
- Pawing at the face
- Loose teeth
- Depression

Cat & Dog Dental Care FAQ
We understand that when your cat or dog is suffering from pain or discomfort, you have questions, and we can provide the answers. Some frequently asked questions regarding cat and dog dental care include:
It's widely known in the veterinary world that most dogs and cats will often exhibit the beginning stages of periodontal disease by age three. Periodontal disease is preventable, but left untreated, it can lead to cardiac disease, kidney and liver infection, and stroke. Keeping track of your pet's oral hygiene and scheduling yearly checkups can improve their quality of life and potentially extend their lifespan for another two to four years.
Tartar buildup and plaque are clear indicators that it's time to get your pet's teeth cleaned. We can evaluate their oral health and add our findings to an ongoing record to track their progress, helping our veterinary dentists determine when they're due for a cleaning. It's a good rule for your pet to receive a cleaning or exam once per year. Furthermore, brushing your pet's teeth at home can help to prevent tartar buildup, but once it's already present, they will need a professional cleaning.
For the comfort of your pet and the safety of our caring team, we only perform deeper cleaning services and extractions on anesthetized pets. We simply can't ask your pet to sit still during our lengthier deep cleaning procedures, which are crucial to eradicating all harmful bacteria growing in your pet's mouth. Rest assured, we minimize health risks when your dog or cat is under anesthesia using focused protocols and diligent monitoring.
