Pet Dental Care

Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to maintain oral hygiene and prevent disease. Without proper attention, plaque and tartar can build up on your pet’s teeth, leading to bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay, and even more severe health issues like heart, liver, or kidney disease. Our pet dentistry services focus on preventive care, early diagnosis, and effective treatment to ensure your pet stays healthy for years to come.

We provide a wide range of pet dentistry services to meet your pet’s specific needs. Some of our key services include:

• Pet Teeth Cleaning: Routine cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
• Dental Examinations: Thorough oral exams to assess your pet’s dental health and identify any issues early.
• Tooth Extractions: When necessary, we perform extractions to remove damaged or decayed teeth, alleviating pain and preventing infection.
• Digital Dental X-Rays: Advanced imaging allows us to evaluate the health of your pet’s teeth below the gumline, ensuring a thorough diagnosis.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment: We provide treatment options for pets suffering from gum disease, helping to restore oral health and prevent further complications.

Routine teeth cleaning is a key part of preventing dental problems in your pet. At Allen Veterinary Hospital, we recommend annual dental checkups and cleanings for your pet to keep their teeth and gums in top condition. Here are some of the benefits:

• Prevention of Periodontal Disease: Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease.
• Improved Breath: Clean teeth lead to fresher breath, making those doggy kisses much more pleasant.
• Reduced Risk of Tooth Loss: Consistent dental care helps protect against decay, reducing the likelihood of tooth loss.
• Whole-Body Health: Maintaining good oral hygiene can also reduce the risk of infections spreading to other parts of the body, such as the heart or kidneys.
