How often do you go to the dentist?  Probably not as often as you should.  Imagine not only avoiding the dentist but never even brushing your teeth!  You would not only have bad breath but rotten teeth, pain and potentially heart, lung and kidney disease.  We would never want to endure that and neither would our pets.  The good news is it can be avoided with regular dental check-ups and cleanings.  The frequency of oral exams and cleanings depends on your individual pet.  If you notice bad breath, mouth sensitivity, bleeding, loose or missing teeth, brown spots on teeth or loss in appetite call us to set up an exam.  The Dr. will give your pet a thorough mouth exam and determine the best method of treatment which ranges from a simple cleaning to possible tooth extractions. 

Some people are concerned about putting their pet under anesthesia for a dental procedure.  Discuss your concerns with our doctors but keep in mind your pet is constantly monitored during the process and there is no substitute for a proper dental cleaning.  Your Dr. may discuss options for a different food to slow the build up of plaque and tartar.  In addition we offer some useful products to help you maintain your pets dental health like toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental wipes and chews.  In order to get you on the right path to keeping your pet smiling we are offering 30% off a routine dental cleaning and 15% off dental hygiene products.  Just book your appointment with us for the month of February to take advantage of this special.  Remember, prevention is the best cure.
