Dental Care

Dental disease is as common in dogs and cats as it is in humans. Proper dental care involves routine dental prophylaxis or cleaning. The most common form of canine and feline dental disease is tartar buildup. This causes irritation of the gums around the base of the teeth (gingivitis), resulting in exposure of the roots. Ultimately, this leads to pain, infection, abscesses, and tooth loss. In addition, neglected teeth can be a source of bacterial spread to other organs such as the kidneys, liver, and heart.

We have a well-trained staff, qualified to provide optimum dental care and treatment for your pet using state-of-the-art equipment. Call us today to make an appointment for a thorough dental examination and cleaning.
