Why Pet Dental Care Is So Important
Dental disease is one of the most common—and most overlooked—health issues in pets. In fact, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of periodontal disease by age three. Without routine cleanings and care, plaque buildup can lead to:
- Tooth loss
- Painful infections
- Gum inflammation
- Damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys
Regular dental exams and professional cleanings help prevent these complications, giving your pet a longer, healthier life.

What to Expect During a Pet
Dental Appointment
Your pet’s dental procedure starts with a pre-anesthetic evaluation and optional bloodwork to assess internal organ function. Once cleared for anesthesia, your pet will receive:
- Full-mouth examination
- Scaling and polishing of teeth
- Digital dental X-rays
- Treatment or removal of damaged or diseased teeth
- Individualized pain control throughout the process
After the procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and guidance for at-home dental maintenance, including tooth brushing techniques, recommended products, and dietary tips.
