Healthy teeth and gums are key to your pet’s overall well-being. At Hollymead Veterinary Hospital, we provide professional dental cleanings, oral exams, and treatment for dental disease.
During your pet’s dental visit, we perform a comprehensive oral exam, take digital dental X-rays, and clean above and below the gumline using ultrasonic scaling tools. If we identify any loose teeth, gum infections, or signs of periodontal disease, we’ll recommend the appropriate treatment. General anesthesia is used to ensure safety, comfort, and a thorough cleaning.
We offer routine dental cleanings for dogs and cats using advanced tools to remove plaque and tartar, helping prevent gum disease and tooth loss.
Full-mouth dental radiographs help us detect hidden issues like root infections, broken teeth, or bone loss that aren’t visible during the physical exam.
If a tooth is severely damaged or infected, we perform safe, effective extractions to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
Dental disease affects more than just your pet’s mouth; it can lead to pain, infection, and organ damage. Regular dental care helps prevent problems before they become serious.
Most pets benefit from a professional cleaning once a year. Some may need more frequent cleanings, especially if they’re prone to plaque buildup or have had past dental issues.
Brushing your pet’s teeth several times a week with vet-approved toothpaste is the gold standard. Dental chews, oral rinses, and prescription diets can also help reduce plaque and tartar.
Common symptoms include bad breath, drooling, red or bleeding gums, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, and visible tartar. If you notice any of these, we recommend you schedule a dental exam for your pet.
