Dental Care For Brighter Pet Smiles
Just like us, pets need regular dental care to maintain their overall health and well-being. Our veterinary team at BranchVet is committed to providing exceptional dental care to ensure your pet’s teeth and gums are as healthy as the rest of them.
Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Problems
Your pets can’t tell you when their mouths are sore or if they’re feeling dental pain—but they often show us through their behavior. Keep an eye out for these common signs of dental issues:
- Bad breath
- Difficulty chewing or dropping food
- Excessive drooling
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Visible tartar buildup
- Pawing at the mouth
- Behavioral changes, such as irritability
Regular dental care is essential for your pet’s overall health. Without it, dental problems can lead to gingivitis, tooth loss, or even more severe health concerns, like heart, liver, or kidney issues.
Why Professional Cleanings Matter
While at-home dental care is essential, professional cleanings are critical for maintaining your pet’s oral and overall health. Our veterinary team uses advanced techniques and tools to provide exceptional care:
- Deep Cleaning: Scaling and polishing to remove tartar and plaque, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Dental X-Rays: Radiology to identify hidden dental problems beneath the gumline.
- Extractions and Oral Surgery: Removing damaged teeth or addressing other oral health concerns with surgical procedures when necessary.
