Dental Disease in Pets

Did you know that up to 90% of cats and dogs age 3 and older have some form of periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease? Periodontal disease can cause significant pain, discomfort, and even affect your pet's overall health, leading to potential heart, liver, and kidney issues if left untreated.

Common Signs of Dental Disease

Your pet can’t tell you if something’s wrong with their teeth, so it’s important to watch for signs of dental disease. Common symptoms include:

  • Bad breath
  • Red or swollen gums
  • Yellowish-brown tartar buildup along the gum line
  • Difficulty eating or trouble keeping food in the mouth
  • Loose, missing, or broken teeth

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We recommend that pets undergo dental exams during their annual wellness visits, where we’ll assess their dental health and recommend treatments as needed. If we determine that a dental cleaning is necessary and you schedule it within 30 days of our recommendation, you’ll receive 10% off the procedure.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Dental Cleaning

If your pet is due for a teeth cleaning, you may have questions about what the procedure entails. Here’s a step-by-step overview of a standard pet dental cleaning at Advanced Pet Care:

1

Physical Exam

Before performing any dental procedures, our team conducts a thorough physical exam to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.

2

Pre-Operative Bloodwork

We run blood tests to check for any underlying health issues that will influence anesthesia, the procedure, and recovery.

3

General Anesthesia

To ensure your pet remains still and comfortable throughout the cleaning process, general anesthesia is administered.

4

Intraoral Radiology (X-rays)

We take detailed dental X-rays to check for hidden dental issues beneath the surface, such as abscesses or bone loss.

5

Scaling & Polishing

We thoroughly clean your pet’s teeth by removing plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline.

6

Periodontal Probing

Our team checks the depth of the spaces between your pet’s teeth and gums to assess the level of gum disease.

7

Charting

We document the condition of your pet’s teeth, including any abnormalities or areas requiring extra attention.

8

Tooth Extractions (if necessary)

If we identify any damaged or infected teeth, we may recommend extractions to prevent further complications.

9

Post-Operative Care

After the procedure, we’ll provide guidance on how to care for your pet’s mouth during recovery.

Throughout the dental procedure, we monitor your pet’s vital signs using advanced equipment to ensure their safety and comfort.
