Keep your pet's teeth and gums as healthy as possible
The benefits of good dental care for your pet
The staff at the Animal Doctor is here to provide your pet with quality dental care. Whether your pet is in need of a routine cleaning or extensive dental work, our veterinarian and technicians are ready to provide quality dental care.
Dental health is a critical aspect of your pets overall health. Dental disease is one of the most common diseases that affects pets. If left untreated dental disease can affect many other organ systems including your pets heart and kidneys. A thorough physical exam is the key to diagnosing dental disease. This will be performed on your pet with our yearly wellness check ups. If your pet is showing signs/symptoms of dental disease or you are concerned you may call to set up a dental appointment at any time, as oral care and prophylactic dental treatments are integral in maintaining a healthy pet.
