Pet Dental Care FAQs

What Should I Do If My Pet Has a Broken Tooth?

One of the most important things that you can do for your pet is to bring them into our animal hospital if they have a broken tooth. While broken teeth are commonplace for some animals, they present a potential risk of infection if not treated right away. We will be able to provide antibiotics and dental services to remedy this broken tooth in no time at all.

How Often Should I Bring My Pet in for a Dental Checkup?

It is recommended that you bring your pet to our facility once a year for an annual checkup per pet care program to ensure that their teeth are healthy and strong. However, we recommend you bring them to us if you notice any kind of abnormalities with their teeth a lot sooner. 

Does My Pet Need Anesthesia to Receive Dental Services?

Your veterinarian at our clinic cannot perform dental procedures on your animal without the use of anesthesia. It is an unfortunate but necessary measure that we have to take for the safety of your animal whenever they need to receive a thorough dental cleaning or examination. However, rest assured that our team employs the assistance of a certified anesthesiologist specialist to help us determine the best course of action for your pet. Your veterinarian will be able to provide you with proper medical consultation on whether or not your pet can receive anesthesia and by proxy dental services.
