At All Creatures Animal Hospital, our veterinarians understand that many pet owners aren't aware of the significance of dental care for their pets. In fact, dental cleaning for pets is a crucial part of taking care of your pet's health. Our Granbury clinic offers veterinary care for dental issues in pets. Here's why a pet oral exam and cleaning is a good idea for your pet.

Dental Cleaning Is Safe & Effective

Having your pet's teeth professionally cleaned by our veterinarians and professional team ensures the job is done safely and effectively. The process involves anesthesia to keep your pet comfortable during the procedure, as well as specialized instruments that remove plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gum line. This kind of deep cleaning is much more effective than brushing alone, which can't reach the areas where plaque and tartar form.

Depending on the health of your pet's teeth and gums, a deep cleaning may be done annually or more often, as recommended by your veterinarian. Regular dental cleanings under anesthesia can help prevent gum disease and other serious health problems in the future.

Dental Care Can Improve Your Pet's Quality of Life

Good dental health can benefit your pet in more ways than just preventing decay. It can also improve their overall quality of life. If your pet has teeth that are too decayed to save, they may need to have those teeth extracted. Dental issues can cause them discomfort and lead to difficulty eating or the inability to enjoy a favorite treat. Regular dental cleanings can help keep your pet's teeth in good condition and save them from unnecessary pain or discomfort.
