Cat and Toothbrush

  

Walnut Grove Animal Hospital takes pride in providing comprehensive dental services to our esteemed clients. Dental disease is prevalent among pets and if left unmanaged, can result in secondary health complications. Therefore, early detection and preventive measures are imperative for maintaining optimal oral health.

 

Common Dental Problems in Pets

 

  • Periodontal Disease 
  • Tooth Decay 
  • Fractured or Broken Teeth
  • Oral Tumors
  • Bad Breath (Halitosis)

 

Services Offered

 

Our dental services include:

  • Teeth cleaning and polishing
  • Dental X-rays
  • Tooth extractions and oral surgery 

 

Preventative Care

 

It is generally more advantageous to adopt a proactive approach in contrast to a reactive one. Regularly brushing your pet's teeth can effectively reduce the accumulation of harmful bacteria and plaque within its oral cavity. Human toothpaste should be avoided, as this can contain xylitol (also known as birch sugar), which is toxic to house pets.

Signs Your Pet Needs Dental Care

 

Should your pet exhibit signs of distress, such as excessive drooling, vocalizations indicative of discomfort, or a reluctance to consume food, it is advisable to promptly arrange for an examination with your veterinarian.
