Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet's health and can often be the cause of serious illness. If left untreated, dental problems can often lead to larger systemic problems in your pet due to oral bacteria entering the blood stream and damaging the kidneys, heart and liver. Many of these problems can be avoided by scheduling regular dental check-ups and dental cleanings for your pet.

Veterinary dentistry is considerably more involved, time-consuming and complex than human dentistry. Cleaning a pet's teeth requires general anesthesia followed by a day long hospitalization. After appropriate pre-anesthetic screening, our skilled veterinary staff regularly perform cleanings, scaling, assessment of tooth and gum health and extractions. Teeth cleanings are day-long procedures that allow your pet to go home the same day after fully recovering from anesthesia.
