Pet Dentistry
Dental health is just as vital for your pet as it is for you. At Sarver Animal Hospital, our dental services are designed to keep your four-legged companions happy with health and vigor. Your pet’s healthy teeth are a window into their overall health, which is why we take pet dental care very seriously.
The Importance of Dental Care
Just like humans, pets can suffer from a variety of dental problems, including plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum issues. If left untreated, these issues can lead to more serious health problems, such as periodontal disease and infections that can spread to other parts of the body.
By prioritizing your pet’s dental wellbeing, you can prevent these issues from arising. Regular dental checkups and professional dental cleanings, along with proper at-home care, are key to maintaining good oral hygiene for pets of all ages.
Comprehensive Pet Dental Exams
Regular dental care starts with a comprehensive pet dental exam. Digital dental radiography allows us to see below the gum line, identifying hidden issues that traditional exams can miss. By catching dental disease in its earliest stages, we can help prevent more serious problems from developing.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Prophylactic dental cleanings are an essential part of maintaining your pet’s oral health. Under anesthesia, we perform a thorough scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar build-up.
Dental Extractions
In cases where tooth extraction (tooth removal) is necessary, our veterinary team is here to provide the very best care. Dental radiographs help guide us to perform surgical dental extractions with precision, helping to ensure a swift recovery for your pet.
At-Home Dental Guidance
Our commitment to your pet’s dental health extends beyond the clinic. We offer personalized guidance on at-home dental care, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to continue the good oral hygiene your pet deserves. From brushing techniques to the right toothbrush and pet-safe dental products, we empower you to be your pet’s oral health ally every day.
In addition to routine brushing, we have options for dental chews and even formulated pet food diets which are designed to promote good oral health. By working together, we can keep your pet’s teeth and gums in great shape throughout all life stages.
