Dental Care

At Advanced Veterinary Medical Center, we understand the vital role that dental health plays in your pet’s well-being. Dental disease is an often overlooked, pervasive health problem in pets that can adversely affect their quality of life. Our comprehensive dental care services focus on keeping your pet’s mouth healthy and comfortable and preventing dental disease before it starts.

Dental Disease Signs

Pets with dental disease and other oral health problems, such as fractures, infections, and resorptive lesions, may show the following signs:

  • Bad breath
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Yellow or brown tooth discoloration
  • Loose or missing teeth
  • Difficulty eating or chewing
  • Irritability
  • Reduced activity or play
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Excessive drooling

The Difference You Need In addition to professional cleanings, your pet’s oral health is dependent on regular at-home dental care. The most effective method for removing daily plaque buildup and slowing dental disease progression is regular toothbrushing, which most pets accept after a short training and acclimation period. Our team can recommend additional oral hygiene products, including chews, diets, rinses, and water additives, to complete your pet’s oral care regimen.
