Comprehensive Pet Dental Exams

Routine dental exams are more than just a checkup—they are the first step in protecting your pet’s overall health. During an exam, our veterinarians thoroughly inspect your pet’s teeth, gums, and mouth to detect early signs of disease such as plaque buildup, gingivitis, or tooth fractures. By identifying issues early, we can create a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs, preventing pain, tooth loss, and more serious health complications down the road.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

A professional cleaning is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. We remove plaque and tartar that cannot be addressed through home care alone. Each cleaning includes scaling and polishing of teeth, as well as a careful evaluation of each tooth for damage or decay. After the procedure, we provide guidance for at-home care, including brushing techniques and dental chews, to help extend the benefits of professional cleaning.

Tooth Extractions and Advanced Procedures

Sometimes, dental issues require more than routine cleanings. Our veterinarians perform extractions and other advanced procedures for pets experiencing tooth decay, infections, or fractures. These procedures are performed with precision and care, ensuring your pet’s comfort during and after treatment. Pain management and thorough postoperative guidance are always part of the process, helping your pet recover safely and comfortably.

Dental Disease Treatment Plans

Dental disease is common among dogs and cats, but with early intervention, it can often be managed or prevented. At Animal Medical Hospital, we develop individualized treatment plans that may include prescription diets, medications, follow-up exams, and home care strategies. By taking a proactive approach to dental health, we support your pet’s comfort and longevity, helping them enjoy a happy, healthy life free from oral pain.

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care

Pet owners should watch for signs that indicate a dental problem, such as:

Persistent Bad Breath

Difficulty Eating or Dropping Food

Red, Swollen, or Bleeding Gums

Loose or Broken Teeth

Pawing at the Mouth or Excessive Drooling

If you notice any of these symptoms, scheduling a dental exam promptly can prevent more serious issues and keep your pet comfortable.

At-Home Dental Care

Maintaining oral health between veterinary visits is just as important as professional cleanings. Our team provides guidance on proper brushing techniques, dental chews, and safe toys designed to reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Nutrition also plays a key role in dental health, and we can recommend diets that support strong teeth and healthy gums. With consistent at-home care, you can help prevent dental disease and keep your pet’s mouth healthy for life.
