Expert Dental Care for Your Pet
Waking up to a good morning kiss from our pets can quickly go from sweet to sour when they’ve got stinky breath! It might also be a sign of an underlying dental problem or discomfort hidden behind your pet’s smile.
Dental health is a critical component of your pet's overall well-being. Neglecting dental care can lead to various health issues, including gum disease, tooth decay, and even heart disease. At Cherry Creek Veterinary Hospital, we know that a sparkling smile and expert dental care are the cornerstones of a lifetime of health. Our team of experienced veterinarians and technicians is here to make sure your pet's pearly whites stay in top-notch shape. From routine exams and cleanings to more advanced procedures, we always have your pet’s best interest at heart.
Signs of Dental Issues/Dental Disease
Dental issues and diseases can be challenging to detect, especially in the early stages. Some common symptoms of dental disease that pet owners can spot include:
- Bad breath
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Loose or broken teeth
- Difficulty chewing
If you notice any of these signs in your pet, it's time to schedule a comprehensive dental exam with one of our veterinarians.
Dental Exams & Cleanings with X-rays
During a complete dental exam, our team will evaluate your pet's dental health and identify any issues that must be addressed. We use advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, to assess your pet's dental health and create a personalized treatment plan.
Thorough Review and Cleaning Under Anesthesia – AAHA Guidelines
To provide the best dental care for your pet, we follow the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) guidelines for anesthesia and monitoring during dental procedures. This ensures that your pet is safe and comfortable throughout the procedure. Under anesthesia, we perform a thorough review and cleaning of your pet's teeth, including scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatment. We also perform any necessary extractions or other procedures to treat dental diseases.
A healthy smile is a happy smile, and we're all about those tail-wagging grins.That's why we recommend regular dental exams and cleanings to prevent dental issues before they become serious health problems.
