If you’ve ever experienced a toothache or a sore in your mouth, you know how much it impacts your overall happiness and ability to function properly. The same goes for your pet, except they can’t tell you when something is wrong. Like us, your pet’s oral health is closely tied to their overall health.
When their mouth is in poor condition, harmful bacteria can spread throughout their body, impacting vital organs. Issues such as cracked, decaying, or tartar-covered teeth, along with inflamed gums, not only cause discomfort but can also lead to serious illnesses and even behavioral problems.
Surprisingly, many dental problems occur below the gum line, where they’re invisible but can cause severe pain and gradually destroy the tooth. This is why high-quality veterinary dental care is essential.
Our dental procedures include a complete set of dental x-rays, allowing us to detect all hidden issues. This ensures we can treat and prevent oral pain, keeping your pet healthy and comfortable.
