Pet Dental Care in Old Saybrook, CT
The dirty truth behind your pet’s pearly – or not-so-pearly – whites is the fact that most pets are suffering from some form of periodontal or dental disease by the time they reach three years of age. And dental health isn’t just about a dog or cat’s breath. Your pet’s teeth are key to their overall well-being.
Pet Dental Care
At advanced stages, dental disease can significantly impact a pet’s quality of life, making eating difficult due to mouth pain. Plus, bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause heart, liver, and kidney complications. Keeping up with the cleanliness of your pet’s mouth and their overall dental health can prevent years of discomfort and lost teeth.
At Animal Hospital of Old Saybrook, our veterinarians and technicians regularly perform anesthetized teeth cleanings using ultrasonic cleaning instruments, digital radiology, and assessment of tooth and gum health and extractions.
Anesthesia is of great importance when it comes to anything having to do with your pet’s teeth. In fact, both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) consider cleaning a companion animal’s teeth without general anesthesia unacceptable. That’s why we make sure at Animal Hospital of Old Saybrook to perform only anesthetic dental and other procedures, which always begin with blood work to verify that your pet is well enough for anesthesia.
If it’s been more than a year since your pet’s last dental exam or cleaning, give us a call at 860-399-6249. Our team will turn that frown upside down!
