Protect Their Teeth, Protect Their Health
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets — and one of the most overlooked. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis, tooth loss, and even serious infections that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Signs your pet may need dental care include:
- Bad breath
- Red or swollen gums
- Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Pawing at the mouth
- Drooling or dropping food
Regular dental care helps prevent painful problems and supports your pet’s long-term health.
Healthy Teeth, Healthy Pet

What’s Included in a Dental Visit?
Our professional dental services include:
- Comprehensive oral exams under anesthesia

- Tooth extractions or other treatments as needed
- Home care guidance for brushing, chews, or dental diets
We use gentle techniques and modern equipment to ensure a safe, effective experience.
Safe Procedures for Lifelong Smiles
Do Pets Need Anesthesia for Dental Cleanings?
Yes. Anesthesia allows us to thoroughly examine and clean your pet’s teeth — including under the gums and around each tooth. It also keeps your pet still and stress-free during the procedure, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout.
Before anesthesia, we perform a full physical exam and may recommend bloodwork to ensure your pet is a good candidate.
Trusted Dental Care Every Day
How to Maintain Your Pet’s Dental Health at Home
Good oral health starts at home! In between professional cleanings, we recommend:
Daily or weekly tooth brushing with pet-safe toothpaste
Dental chews or treats approved by your vet
Prescription dental diets if needed
Regular wellness exams to monitor oral health
Our team will help you create a care plan that fits your lifestyle and your pet’s personality.
