Dentistry
Our high-tech dental x-ray unit gives us the ability to evaluate
the internal structure of your pet’s teeth and mouth, detecting and
diagnosing problems before they become apparent. With the use of our
Odontoson Ultrasonic Scaler, the quality of calculus and plaque removal is as
advanced as you would find in your dentist's office. Also, the
scaler has a super-low heat-producing tip that minimizes tooth and
soft tissue structural damage.
Should a tooth need to be extracted, our high-speed drill makes
the process as painless as possible. For the preservation of a diseased
tooth, extensive periodontal therapy is available. If your pet is a
candidate for a root canal or bonding, we are able to perform the
procedure.
Did you know that oral disease is the number one problem diagnosed in
dogs and cats? According to the
American Veterinary Dental Society
(AVDS), 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by
the time they are three years old!
Plaque and bacteria buildup on the teeth, without proper care, can
progress to dental disease causing bad breath, yellow teeth, tooth
decay, swollen and bleeding gums, tooth loss, and eventually damage to
the heart, kidneys, and other internal organs.
If you take care of your pets' teeth properly, you will help them live a
longer, healthier lifestyle. AVDS recommends to brush your pet's
teeth and if you suspect a more serious problem, see your veterinarian
right away. Speak with us about about further specific
recommendations for your pet.
