Proactive Prevention: Building a Foundation of Wellness
Prevention is key to maintaining your pet's dental health. During routine wellness exams, our veterinarians conduct thorough dental assessments, identifying early signs of dental issues such as periodontal disease or decay. Our approach to dental wellness includes comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, and advanced treatments tailored to your pet's unique needs.
Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian for early signs of problems and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
Causes of dental problems:
Although cavities are less common in pets than in people, they can have many of the same dental problems that people can develop:
- Broken teeth and roots
- Periodontal disease
- Abscesses or infected teeth
- Cysts or tumors in the mouth
- Malocclusion, or misalignment of the teeth and bite
- Broken (fractured) jaw
- Palate defects (such as cleft palate)
Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats – by the time your pet is 3 years old, he or she will very likely have some early evidence of periodontal disease, which will worsen as your pet grows older if effective preventive measures aren’t taken. Early detection and treatment are critical, because advanced periodontal disease can cause severe problems and pain for your pet. Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect your pet’s mouth. Other health problems found in association with periodontal disease include kidney, liver, and heart muscle changes.
The Importance of Dental Cleanings and Extractions
Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing and treating periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss, pain, and systemic health issues. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of dental disease and ensuring your pet's mouth stays healthy and pain-free.
In cases of advanced periodontal disease or severe tooth decay, extractions may be necessary to alleviate pain and prevent further complications. Our experienced team performs extractions with care and precision, ensuring your pet receives the treatment they need to maintain optimal oral health.
