What Is Pet Dental Care?

Pet dental care involves routine cleanings, oral exams, and treatment for dental disease. Just like people, pets benefit from regular dental visits to prevent tartar buildup, gum disease, and painful infections.

At Highland Pointe Animal Hospital, we approach dental care with compassion, making sure each patient is comfortable and safe during procedures.

How Pet Dental Care Works

Pet dental care begins with a physical exam and may include blood tests to ensure anesthesia is safe for your dog or cat. During the procedure, pets are placed under anesthesia so the veterinarian can perform a thorough oral exam without causing stress or discomfort.

Next, digital dental x-rays are taken to check below the gum line, where many dental problems are hidden. Teeth are then scaled to remove plaque and tartar before being polished smooth to slow future buildup. If any diseased or broken teeth are found, extractions or oral surgery may be recommended. After the procedure, pets recover under close monitoring, and owners receive detailed aftercare instructions to keep their pet’s mouth healthy at home.

Why Pet Dental Care Matters

Dental disease affects most pets by age three and can lead to serious health issues, including heart, kidney, or liver disease. Regular cleanings and exams protect not only oral health but also overall well-being.
