Is Your Pet Showing Any of These Signs?
- Bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Chattering teeth (especially in cats)
- Swelling under the eye (more common in dogs)
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Discolored teeth
- Low energy or reduced activity
If so, it might be time for a professional teeth cleaning. Regular dental cleanings, ideally once a year, help maintain your pet’s oral health. At Caring Hands Animal Hospital, we use advanced equipment to provide thorough dental care. Our preventive cleanings include a complete mouth examination, gum pocket measurements to check for periodontal disease, ultrasonic scaling and polishing, and a fluoride treatment to protect against plaque buildup.
Advanced Dental Care
We also use digital X-rays to detect hidden dental problems beneath the gum line. Just like in humans, some dental diseases aren’t visible to the naked eye but can be revealed through X-rays. If necessary, we provide surgical treatments such as tooth extractions, biopsies of oral masses, and gum tissue removal.
