Does My Pet Need Dental Care?
Veterinary dentistry doesn't simply address minor inconveniences like bad breath but helps prevent serious health complications. That's why getting your pet the dental care they need is important, even if they're not showing outward or noticeable signs of problems. Through regular dental checkups, you can help keep their smile looking and feeling its best. Some of the most common benefits of pet dentistry include the following:
Stopping bad breath: One of the most frequent dental complications in cats and dogs is bad breath. As in humans, poor oral hygiene can create an unpleasant smell. Not only that, but the build-up of plaque and tartar on the surface of your pet's teeth can attract bacteria that lead to bad breath. Our dental team will regularly clean your cat or dog's mouth and help prevent inconvenient oral odors.
Preventing tooth loss: Our veterinary team understands the importance of preserving your pet's teeth, which is why we prioritize saving your pet's teeth whenever we can. Tooth loss not only makes it challenging for your pet to consume food without discomfort but can allow bacteria to directly enter its bloodstream and cause serious health problems. With regular dental visits, we can help keep your pet's teeth healthy and reduce the chance of needing their teeth extracted.
Eliminating dental pain: Various oral problems can be painful for your pet. However, cats and dogs are good at hiding their pain, making it challenging to know when they need dental care. When you bring your pet to our practice for regular dental checkups, we can help prevent them from experiencing oral pain and discomfort in the first place.
Helping Your Pet Feel Comfortable
We understand how valuable it is to have a veterinary clinic that works to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible during their appointment. Our Oakville pet dentist and their team strive to create a relaxing and stress-free atmosphere for any cat or dog that comes through our doors. Our team has extensive experience working with the unique personalities of cats and dogs and employs patience when working with them. You can breathe easier knowing that our team will treat your beloved pet with the compassion and respect they deserve throughout their time with us.
Our Extensive Dental Services
When your pet visits our office for the first time, we'll begin the process by conducting an extensive oral exam to better understand the condition of their smile. Once we've completed the oral exam, depending on the condition of your pet's teeth and gums, we may have you bring them back for a second appointment. During the second appointment, we'll more than likely sedate your pet and take detailed x-rays to examine oral structures not visible to the naked eye.
Once our team gets the information they need, we'll craft your pet's personalized treatment plan that outlines which of our services we think would be right for them. Most of our services are same day, meaning that you can drop them off at our office in the morning and pick them up later in the day. We're more than happy to adjust your pet's treatment plan so that it perfectly fits your comfort level. Our quality dental services include the following:
Dental cleanings: When your pet visits us for a routine dental cleaning, our team will use instruments to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your pet's teeth. Plaque is a sticky and colorless material made of bacteria. Unlike humans, your pet is unable to remove plaque from its teeth on its own. When left untreated, plaque hardens into tartar which irritates your pet's gums and can lead to dental complications.
Tooth extractions: Although our veterinary clinic's goal is to save your pet's natural teeth, there may be situations where a tooth is too damaged to remain in your pet's mouth. Our Oakville cat and dog dentist can perform gentle tooth extractions to protect its oral health. Following the extraction of your pet's tooth, we'll close the area using body-safe sutures and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
Scaling & root planing: Like humans, cats and dogs are vulnerable to gum disease. As part of our dental services, we're able to offer scaling and root planing. Using special tools, our veterinarian can remove plaque and tartar from above and below your pet's gumline. Scaling and root planing not only remove harmful substances from your pet's teeth but smooths its surface so that their gums can firmly attach to them.
