How We Help Treat and Prevent Dental Issues

Through daily care at home and routinely-scheduled treatment at our hospital, your pet will have a healthier mouth and a happier, healthier life. Our cat and dog teeth cleaning services include:

• Comprehensive oral exams, which give our team the opportunity to check your pet’s mouth for loose teeth, infection, abscesses and other issues

• Digital, full-mouth X-rays to evaluate the teeth and bone below the gum line for underlying damage

• Thorough dental cleanings with state-of-the-art general anesthesia and monitoring to keep your pet comfortable and safe while we clean and polish their teeth

• Tooth extractions or mass removals performed if necessary to improve oral health

• Recommendations for daily, at-home treatment such as teeth brushing, dental chews, or food and treats for controlling tartar

The care you provide for your pet at home has a significant impact. By regularly cleaning away food debris, you’re slowing plaque buildup on your pet’s teeth and keeping harmful bacteria at bay. Professional cleanings at The Animalife Veterinary Center will supplement this daily care and give your pet a cleaner, healthier mouth.
