Dental Care
Animal Care Center provides dental care services including scaling, polishing, and overall assessment, as well as extractions and recommendations for at-home dental care.
Believe it or not, dogs and cats need to have their teeth checked and cleaned regularly just like people do. They will develop tartar and plaque deposits on their teeth if they do not receive routine care from a qualified professional. Most pet owners are not aware that with regular check-ups, and following good oral hygiene habits at home, you can typically extend the life of your pet by several years.
If you notice your pet exhibiting any of the following conditions, don’t hesitate to give us a call and schedule a dental care appointment:
- Abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food from the mouth
- Bad breath
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Broken or loose teeth
- Gum recession and/or gum swelling
- Pain in or around the mouth
- Pawing at the face or mouth
- Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
