Oral Health
What Is Veterinary Dentistry, and Why Is It Important?
Veterinary dentistry includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental diseases in pets. That means everything from routine dog dental cleanings to tooth extractions and advanced oral surgery.
Did you know? By age 3, over 80% of dogs and cats show signs of dental disease. Left untreated, this can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and even heart or kidney issues. Regular dental care is critical to avoiding these problems and supporting your pet’s quality of life.

Preventive Care
Why Should I Prioritize Pet Dental Care?
Dental care for pets is every bit as important as it is for humans. Not only do regular cleanings keep their breath fresh and ensure they can eat more comfortably, but they also help prevent a wide range of illnesses and health issues.
Scheduling regular dental care for pets:
- Prevents bad breath and tooth loss
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Improves long-term health
- May prevent serious systemic diseases
Routine dentistry visits are key to your companion’s overall health.
