Advanced dentistry for dogs and cats.

Common Signs of Dental Disease:

Imagine what your mouth would feel like if you never brushed your teeth or went to the dentist. For many dogs and cats, this is a painful reality. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental (or periodontal) disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets. We recommend that you have a veterinarian evaluate your pet’s dental health at least once a year, even if your dog or cat doesn’t have these symptoms.

Laser therapy for dogs and cats is useful for many different conditions. Some of the most common include:

Yellow or brown buildup (tartar) on the teeth
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Bad breath
Excessive drooling

Changes in eating or chewing habits
Pawing at the face
Loose teeth
Depression and poor appetite

Dentistry

Bacteria and food debris accumulate around the teeth and, if left unchecked, will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. This decay can result in tooth loss, facial abscess, and even fracture of the jawbone.

Dental disease can also affect other organs in the body: Bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. A physical exam combined with appropriate laboratory work can help determine if infection in the mouth is causing systemic illness.
