Dental Care

Unfortunately preventive dental care is often overlooked in our pets until it is causing significant discomfort and affecting overall health. Tarter, gingivitis and especially periodontal disease cause pain which our pets rarely show. Home care such as teeth brushing and dental treats slow progression but, just as in people, routine professional cleanings are necessary to keep the mouth healthy and comfortable.

Proactive preventive care helps to detect and prevent problems that affect the health, comfort and longevity of our pets. Detecting problems early can provide more treatment options, better prognosis and longer life. The costs associated with early detection and treatment are usually significantly less than treating advanced disease. Proactive care also provides peace of mind that you may be able to prevent the stress to your pet and family associated with treating advanced disease.
