Do you know all the illnesses linked to dental disease in our pets, or that they are similar to those in humans? Did you know that dental care in humans has been a contributor to longer lifespans because of this? With the current advances in dentistry available to our pets, we are excited to see how much longer they are living when we perform preventative dental work rather than extracting badly rotten teeth. We have invested in a digital dental radiograph unit to minimize radiation, as well as a dental scaler much like the one your dentist uses on you – one that is shown to have the lowest risk causing heat damage to a tooth. Because we perform radiographs as a part of our oral exam, we can find the actual cause of the issue and only extract teeth that are required to. If extractions are required, we can determine the fastest, least traumatic way to surgically remove any teeth. By using proper dental nerve blocks, sending home pain medication and utilizing absorbable surgical foam to prevent dry socket, we help get your pet over the pain of dental disease, and back to the playful pet you remember, quickly.
