Veterinary Dentistry

Did you know, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 70% of adult cats and 80% of adult dogs show symptoms of oral disease? That’s a lot! If you’ve noticed yellowing of your pet’s teeth, bad breath, bleeding, or broken teeth, something just isn’t right. Your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall health.

Signs of Dental Problems

• Bad breath
• Loose, broken, or missing teeth
• Yellow or brown teeth
• Red, inflamed, or bleeding gums
• Difficulty or pain when chewing
• Pawing at the mouth
• Excessive drooling

Many of our pets suffer in silence from acute/chronic oral pain and systemic bacteria from periodontal disease, tooth fractures, tooth resorption, and many other oral conditions. Our team’s goal is to help you identify, stop, and prevent the pain and systemic side effects of these conditions for your pet. The sooner we address the problem, the better the chance of having a positive outcome! If you notice your pet exhibiting any of these symptoms, call us to schedule your dental appointment.
