Dental disease can affect our dogs and cats at any stage of life. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have oral disease by the age of three. It is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets. Maintaining dental health is an important part of maintaining health of the entire body. Dental disease can lead to infections and disease of heart, lung, liver, kidney and other organs. Proactive dental care and maintaining/restoring oral health will have a significant impact on your pet’s overall health, comfort and lifespan.
Oral health begins with an annual oral examination. Our veterinarians will check your pet’s teeth and gums to keep you informed about changing or immediate dental needs. Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet’s health at any age.
Dr. Harris and Dr. Johnson have chosen to undergo advanced training in dentistry to ensure the best care / comfort for each patient and provide highest quality dental care. Our dental services include routine dental cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and oral surgery, including oronasal fistula repair and mass removal.
We follow standards set forth by AAHA, providing a safe anesthetic protocol and thorough patient monitoring. Routine dental examination/cleaning procedures include removal of tartar from above and below the gum line, gentle probing of the teeth and gums, thorough dental charting, tooth polishing and fluoride treatment. Doxirobe therapy is recommended for treatment of periodontal pockets to help restore tooth health and prevent tooth loss. If additional treatments are required, our doctors will contact you to discuss options with you. Dental radiographs, periodontal procedures, tooth extractions and other oral surgery can be performed to relieve discomfort or treat infection. In addition, we can recommend preventative measures you can begin at home to promote lasting dental health.
