Keep your pet’s smile healthy with expert dental care at Southside Veterinary Clinic.
Pet Dental Care
Why is dental care so important? Recent studies have shown that 70% of adult cats and 80% of adult dogs show symptoms of oral disease. In fact, most pet parents are not away that their pet is dealing with dental issues. Bad breath, plaque build-up, excessive drooling, sore or bleeding gums when eating or chewing, and decreased appetite are signs that your pet’s teeth may require veterinary attention.
Just as it’s important for you to see a dentist regularly, it’s important for dogs and cats as well. Your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall health. Signs of dental disease include bad breath, loose, broken or missing teeth, yellow or brown teeth, red, inflamed or bleeding gums, difficulty or pain when chewing, pawing at the mouth, and excessive drooling. If you notice any of these symptoms, please contact our team and we’ll be happy to help.
Pet Dental Cleanings
If your pet needs dental cleaning, Southside Veterinary Hospital is here to help. We offer thorough dental cleanings to care for your pet’s teeth. Your pet will be placed under anesthesia, where our team will be able to examine your pet’s oral cavity fully. We will then remove any plaque or tartar from the teeth, check for signs of infection and gum disease, and polish their teeth to prevent plaque buildup.
