Pet Dental Care

Dental health plays an important role in your pet’s overall well-being. Dental disease is one of the most common conditions in dogs and cats and can lead to pain, infection, and difficulty eating if left untreated. At Animal Republic Veterinary Hospital & Emergency, we provide professional dental care to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.

Our Dental Services

Our veterinary team offers comprehensive dental care for dogs and cats, including:

• Complete oral examination
• Professional dental cleaning under anesthesia
• Ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar
• Dental X-rays to evaluate teeth below the gumline
• Treatment of periodontal disease
• Tooth extractions when necessary
• Pain management and local nerve blocks
• Recommendations for home dental care

Dental X-rays are an important part of veterinary dentistry because many dental problems occur below the gumline and cannot be seen during a routine examination.

Signs of Dental Disease

You should schedule a dental evaluation if you notice:

• Bad breath
• Red or swollen gums
• Yellow or brown tartar buildup
• Difficulty eating or chewing
• Excessive drooling
• Pawing at the mouth

Early treatment helps prevent more serious dental disease and keeps your pet comfortable.
