Frequently asked questions
- What is the primary focus of Pet Dental Center?
- Pet Dental Center is a specialized veterinary practice dedicated to providing comprehensive dentistry and oral surgery for dogs and cats. The team has advanced training and extensive experience to diagnose and treat a wide range of oral diseases, with a commitment to enhancing pets' overall health and quality of life through proper oral care.
- Does my pet need a dental cleaning?
- Dental cleanings are recommended based on each individual pet’s level of plaque, calculus buildup, and gingivitis. Routine oral evaluations, including dental probing and full mouth dental radiographs, are advised no less than every two years, and for some pets, every six months. This is crucial because clean teeth are not always healthy, and underlying issues can cause pain or discomfort.
- My pet has bad breath; what should I do?
- Bad breath is the primary symptom of advanced dental disease in pets, often stemming from disease-causing bacteria. It is important to have your pet’s oral health fully assessed with a thorough oral examination and dental radiographs as soon as bad breath is noticed. This helps prevent severe infections and tooth loss, and addresses potential negative effects on other body parts like the heart or kidneys.
- Can pets with increased anesthesia risks receive dental care at Pet Dental Center?
- Yes, Pet Dental Center specializes in providing high-level anesthesia care for geriatric pets and those with increased risks due to conditions such as heart, kidney, liver, neurologic, diabetes, and Cushing’s diseases. They average treating one high-risk patient each day, ensuring pets do not have to live with chronic dental pain and infection due to anesthesia concerns.
- What types of dental chews are recommended for pets?
- Dental chews with the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal of approval are recommended, as this verifies they have been tested to significantly reduce plaque or calculus. It is advised to introduce chews slowly and supervise pets to prevent choking or digestive complications. Hard chew objects like bones, hooves, antlers, thick rawhide products, and plastic toys should always be avoided due to the risk of dental fractures.
