Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Disease

Dental disease affects most cats and dogs by age 3, but symptoms are often easy to miss in the early stages. Common signs of dental problems include:

  • Bad breath
  • Red or bleeding gums
  • Yellow or brown tartar buildup
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Loose, broken, or fractured teeth

 
Without treatment, dental disease can lead to pain, infection, tooth loss, and other health complications affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Our Veterinary Dentistry Services

Professional Pet Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline to help prevent periodontal disease and protect long-term oral health.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays help us identify hidden issues beneath the surface, including tooth root infections, fractures, and resorptive lesions that may not be visible during a routine exam.

Pet Tooth Extractions

When damaged or infected teeth cannot be saved, we perform tooth extractions and advanced oral surgery procedures with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and pain management.

Your Pet Dental Care Questions, Answered

Most pets benefit from annual dental cleanings, though some breeds or senior pets may require more frequent care.

Yes. Anesthesia allows us to safely and thoroughly clean beneath the gumline, take X-rays, and perform extractions if needed, all without stress or pain for your pet.

Absolutely. Bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream, impacting organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Preventive care helps protect your pet’s whole body.

Brushing your pet’s teeth regularly is the best option, but dental chews, rinses, and special diets can also support oral health between professional cleanings.

Yes. Many dental problems start below the gumline where they can’t be seen during a visual exam. X-rays help us catch these hidden issues early.
