Dental health is essential to your pet’s overall health, and dental problems can lead to significant health problems if left untreated. Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian for early signs of problems and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
At Genesee Valley Veterinary Hospital, we offer dental care services for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. We use state-of-the-art equipment and technology to perform the following services:
What to Expect From Pet Dental Examinations
We take the time to assess every aspect of your pet’s oral health carefully
When it comes to dental examinations, we take the time to assess every aspect of your pet’s oral health carefully. Our experienced veterinarians understand the subtle signs that may indicate dental issues, and we pay attention to even the smallest details. By evaluating your pet’s teeth, gums, and oral tissues, we can detect problems early on and provide the necessary treatment.
Pet Dental Surgery and Tooth Extractions
Pets can have hidden dental problems
Just like humans, pets can have hidden dental problems that may not be noticeable without specialized equipment. That’s why we offer dental radiographs (X-rays), which provide us with detailed images of your pet’s teeth and oral structures. These images allow us to identify underlying issues such as tooth root infections or fractures, ensuring that we address any problems that may be lurking beneath the surface. Sometimes, the best option for your pet’s dental health is to remove one or more teeth. We know this can be a hard decision for you and your pet. We offer tooth extractions for pets who have severely diseased or damaged teeth that cannot be saved by other treatments. Tooth extractions can help your pet avoid pain, infection, inflammation, and other complications from dental problems.
Professional Dental Cleanings
We love to see your pet smile with clean and healthy teeth
Our professional dental cleanings go beyond routine brushing. We use gentle yet effective techniques to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your pet’s teeth. Our goal is not only to improve their oral hygiene but also to prevent the progression of dental disease. We want your pet to have a clean and fresh smile that they can proudly show off.
