Dog Dental Care in Doylestown, PA

Can you imagine living for 10 or 15 years without ever seeing a dentist?

There’s more to pet dental care than just brushing your dog’s or cat’s teeth. The good news is there are options when it comes to good pet dental care!
 

• Veterinary Care without Anesthesia
• Professional Exams and Dental Cleaning

The professional dental technician:

• Cleans the surface of each tooth including just under the gum line
• Inspects for signs of periodontal disease, and
• Finishes with polishing each tooth

Clients receive hands-on techniques for homecare, a review your pet’s dental care program, and recommendations on any additional dental needs.

What makes this service so successful?

It’s the ability of the technicians to gently and patiently gain the trust and confidence of your pet. Orthopedic mats provide comfort to your pet during the cleaning.

Is this dental service right for my pet?

A dog or cat with early stages of periodontal disease is a good candidate for this level of dental care. Since the pet is not under anesthesia, the ideal candidate is:

• A pet that is not fearful or aggressive
• A pet with the ability remain calm while the technician is working in the mouth with dental instruments

For pets with advanced periodontal disease, non-anesthetic teeth cleaning could be an option for maintenance once a healthy mouth is established.

Professional Exam and Dog Dental Care in Doylestown, PA

Often we don’t realize our pets, especially cats, are experiencing pain and discomfort in the mouth. A comprehensive physical exam includes an examination of the mouth. Veterinarians know what signs of dental disease to look for during the oral exam, but only dental radiographs can detect serious problems in the tooth or under the gum line that a visual examination alone won’t identify.

A professional cleaning can remove plaque and resolve problems like cracked, loose, or rotting teeth. Short-lasting anesthetic is required for more complete examinations for the safety and comfort of the pet and the professionals.

A healthy mouth supported by preventive pet dental care is a win-win for you and your dog or cat. As always, consult with your veterinarian about your pet’s dental care routine, and which diet, supplements, and products are best for your pet.
