Oral health is a critical component of wellness care for pets.
You wouldn’t imagine skipping dental check-ups for the rest of your life.
So, why wouldn’t you want to make sure your pet receives the dental care they need, too? Unfortunately, even the most devoted and conscientious pet owners sometimes underestimate how important dental care is for animals. Pet dentistry is vital for overall well-being since it does more than simply keep your animal friend’s teeth clean. It also protects pets from a host of other potential health issues. If your companion needs pet dental care in The Colony, we’d be delighted to help!
THE IMPORTANCE OF PET DENTISTRY
If you’re still unsure whether pet dental care is important, consider this: 70% of animals get oral problems by the age of three. By the age of five, that percentage rises to 80%. Bad breath and tooth discoloration are common signs of dental disorders. But if left untreated, these modest problems can develop into infections that lead to kidney, heart, and liver damage. Sadly, untreated pet dental disease is a major cause of early pet mortality.
Pre-anesthetic blood testing and a comprehensive medical examination are the first things we do when you visit us for pet dental care in The Colony (because we perform pet dental services while patients are under general anesthesia). After your pet is sedated, we will do a thorough pet dental examination and take digital dental X-rays. Your pet’s teeth will be cleaned and polished before receiving a fluoride rinse. Our veterinarians can also do oral surgeries for pets, including extractions, when necessary.
