Signs of Dental Disease in Pets

Signs of Dental Disease in Pets

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in dogs and cats, and it often develops quietly. In fact, many pets show signs by the time they reach just a few years of age.

Keep an eye out for:

  • Ongoing bad breath

  • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Excess drooling

  • Pawing at the mouth or face

  • Trouble chewing or avoiding food

  • Less interest in toys or chew treats

  • Ongoing bad breath

  • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Excess drooling

  • Pawing at the mouth or face

  • Trouble chewing or avoiding food

  • Less interest in toys or chew treats

Without treatment, dental disease can progress and impact other areas of the body, including the heart, kidneys, and liver.

What Happens During a Pet Dental Cleaning?

What Happens During a Pet Dental Cleaning?

We perform dental cleanings under general anesthesia so we can complete a thorough and comfortable evaluation.

Your pet’s dental procedure may include:

  • Pre-anesthetic physical exam and lab work

  • Carefully monitored anesthesia throughout the procedure

  • Full oral health assessment

  • Digital dental X-rays to evaluate below the gumline

  • Scaling to remove plaque and tartar

  • Polishing to smooth tooth surfaces

  • Tooth extractions or additional treatment if necessary

  • Recovery monitoring and aftercare instructions

This approach allows us to address both visible and hidden dental concerns.

Dental care needs can vary based on your pet’s age, breed, and overall health.

  • Many pets benefit from annual dental cleanings

During routine exams, we’ll evaluate your pet’s teeth and recommend a schedule that fits their needs.
