Pet Dental Care
At Rio Vista Veterinary Services, we know that a healthy mouth is essential for your pet’s overall well-being. Dental health is a key component of your pet’s overall health, and proper dental care can help prevent a variety of health issues. Our dedicated veterinary team is here to provide comprehensive pet dental services to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and pain-free.
The Importance of Pet Dental Health
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, affecting a majority of cats and dogs by the age of three. Without proper pet dental care, plaque and tartar build-up can lead to painful conditions such as gum disease, tooth loss, and even systemic infections that can affect your pet’s heart, liver, and kidneys.
Regular pet dental care helps prevent these problems and ensures your pet stays happy and healthy.
Common Signs of Dental Problems in Pets
- Bad Breath
- Discolored or Dirty Teeth
- Red or Swollen Gums
- Difficulty Eating or Chewing
- Pawing at the Mouth or Face
- Excessive Drooling
Our Pet Dental Services
Our veterinarians will thoroughly examine your pet’s mouth to assess their dental health and identify any problems that may require treatment.
Regular professional pet cleanings are crucial for preventing dental disease. We use safe anesthesia to ensure a stress-free and comfortable experience for your pet. Our pet dental cleanings include scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing to smooth the tooth surface, and a thorough examination to check for any underlying issues.
X-rays are a vital tool in diagnosing dental problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as tooth root infections, fractures, and bone loss. Our digital pet dental x-rays provide a detailed view of your pet’s teeth and jaw, allowing us to provide the most accurate diagnosis and treatment.
In cases where a tooth is severely damaged or infected, extraction may be necessary to prevent further pain and infection. Our skilled veterinary team is experienced in performing extractions and other oral surgeries with the utmost care and precision.
We provide personalized advice on at-home pet dental care, including brushing techniques, dental diets, and appropriate chew toys, to help you maintain your pet’s dental health between visits.
