Dentistry
As the saying goes, Pets Need Dental Care Too.
Our services include probing the gum line at each tooth to measure the pocket depth and any gum recession prior to ultrasonically cleaning and polishing your pet’s teeth (under the gum line also). If warranted, dental x-rays and any necessary extractions can be performed.
Dental disease is estimated to affect 90% of dogs aged 5 years or older. Food particles and naturally occurring bacteria in the mouth develop into tartar/calculus within 48 hours in the absence of effective brushing & flossing.
Inflamed gums are similar to an open, infected sore. As your pet chews its food, the inflamed gums bleed, thereby allowing bacteria easy access into the bloodstream. The bacteria which is carried through the bloodstream can cause liver infection, kidney infection/failure, heart valve infection & arthritis.
