Dentistry
Oral hygiene is crucial for pet health. Animal Alley Veterinary Hospital offers comprehensive dental care for lasting comfort and wellness.
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental problems in pets can lead to more than just bad breath. Bacteria from untreated teeth and gums can enter the bloodstream, potentially affecting your pet’s heart, kidneys, and liver. Regular dental care not only prevents these issues but also ensures your pet can eat comfortably and enjoy a high quality of life.
When Does Your Pet Need Dental Care?
Recognizing the signs of dental problems early can prevent discomfort and more severe health issues. Watch for these common symptoms that indicate your pet may need dental attention:
- Persistent bad breath
- Difficulty chewing or eating
- Drooling more than usual
- Red or swollen gums
- Visible tartar or discolored teeth
- Loose or broken teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or showing signs of oral pain
If you notice any of these symptoms, scheduling a visit with our pet dentist can help address the problem promptly.
Comprehensive Dentistry Services
We take a proactive approach to dental health, beginning with a thorough examination during your pet’s routine checkup. Our dog dentist and veterinary team evaluate your pet’s mouth, teeth, and gums for signs of tartar buildup, loose teeth, or other dental issues. Based on their findings, we may recommend further care, including:
- Scaling and Polishing: Removes tartar and plaque from teeth, leaving them clean and smooth to prevent future buildup
- Digital Dental Radiography: Detects issues beneath the gums, where up to 70% of dental disease occurs
- Restorative Care: Preserves the life of the tooth through advanced treatments
- Extractions: Removes damaged or problematic teeth to alleviate pain and prevent further issues
