Dentistry

Complete ultrasonic scaling and cleaning both above and below the gum line are provided for good oral hygiene and the long term health of your pet. Just like us, our pets get dental tartar buildup and periodontal disease. Untreated tooth and gum disease is not only painful for your pet, but also allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This can lead to damage to the heart, lungs, persistent urinary infections or other organ damage shortening the life of your pet. Remember, dental disease is not static! It only gets worse with time when not properly addressed. You are your pet’s best defense against dental disease. Daily brushing and periodic dental cleaning by your veterinarian will help keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy.

At our clinic we also have digital dental radiography to assist us in the diagnosis and treatment of dental disease. This imaging helps us to find serious disease below the gumline that is not visible with visual inspection.
