Dental Care For Your Pets
Since your pet’s teeth are an important indicator of their overall health, at Wilson Veterinary Hospital we are dedicated to healthy mouths and healthy pets. About 85% of dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease and are vulnerable to the pain, bad breath and tooth loss that could follow. Chronic infections can spread to the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, where they can do even more damage. Untreated tooth and gum disease may allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and cause damage to the valves of the heart.
Regular check-ups and routine cleanings, as well as more in-depth dental procedures are performed in our dental suite by our skilled doctors and technicians, and ensure year round smiles for you and your pet.
Why Dentistry is Essential for Pet Wellness
Dental health plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to painful gum disease, tooth loss, and even systemic health problems such as heart, liver, and kidney disease. Regular dental care not only keeps your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free but also extends their quality of life. Addressing dental issues early can prevent more serious conditions and help ensure your pet stays happy and active. Learn more about what you can do to support your pet’s comprehensive health.
How Often Does My Pet Need a Dentist Visit?
Pets should have their teeth professionally examined and cleaned at least once a year. However, some pets may require more frequent visits depending on their age, breed, and oral health condition. Regular check-ups allow veterinarians to monitor for early signs of dental disease, perform thorough cleanings, and provide guidance on maintaining your pet’s oral health at home. For pets prone to dental problems, bi-annual visits may be recommended.
What Is Needed If My Pet Has Never Been to the Veterinarian for a Dental Visit?
If your pet has never had a dental exam, don’t worry! The first step is to schedule a comprehensive wellness visit with Wilson Veterinary Hospital. During this appointment, your vet will assess your pet’s overall health and evaluate their oral condition. Depending on the findings, they may recommend a professional dental cleaning under anesthesia to thoroughly clean and inspect the teeth. Be sure to provide your pet’s medical history and discuss any concerns you may have about anesthesia or their dental health to ensure the safest and most effective care plan.
