Signs that your pet may have dental disease include diminished appetite, a sudden preference for canned food over dry food, as well as bleeding from the mouth and loose teeth, sneezing and nasal discharge. However, you may see no clinical signs at all, which is why visits to your veterinarian are so important.

Dentistry

Our dentistry service diagnoses and treats both simple and complicated dental and oral diseases. Dentistry services are available with or without a referral from your primary veterinarian.

Why is good dental health important?

In dogs and cats, periodontal disease (gum disease) is the number one diagnosed problem. By the age of just two, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some form of periodontal disease, which can lead to other problems throughout the body. For this reason, it’s very important for animals to have their teeth examined and cleaned.
