Dentistry Services
There's nothing like a great smile and sweet smelling breath so don't forget your pet's smile! Healthy gums help ensure healthy teeth and good physical health as well. Certain diseases of the heart, kidney, and liver have been associated with gingivitis that can easily be treated and prevented with dental check-ups and cleanings as needed. Depending on certain conditions such as breed and age, cleanings may be needed on an annual basis. During the procedure, your pet is under a general inhalation anesthetic and the teeth are evaluated for cracks, cavities, infections and alignment. Infected and cracked teeth are generally pulled and a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums is also performed.
Dr. Cooper has also removed retained baby teeth in puppies and adult dogs and cats to prevent over-crowding and misalignment of permanent teeth. Also available are various dental pastes, and "dental diets" so that tooth brushing and feedings can be introduced to your pet and become part of the home dental care program.
February, August,and September are our annual Dental Health Care Months and the staff at Shadow Lake Animal Hospital will be emphasizing the importance of dental care in overall pet health care. Depending on your pet's age, Value Packages providing significant savings specifically for dental services for your pet family members are also available.
