How we help
Dental care for pets is just as important as it is for people! Our veterinary team in Satellite Beach offers dog and cat teeth cleanings and comprehensive dental procedures. Our patients are placed under general anesthesia to allow for a thorough oral exam, ultrasonic cleaning, polishing, dental radiographs, and extractions if necessary.
In addition to encouraging at home brushing, we recommend periodic veterinary exams of your pet’s mouth. Often, animals require professional scaling in addition to at home plaque control.
Even with consistent oral care at home, most dogs and cats will eventually need a professional cleaning to restore their mouths to a healthier condition.
Some of the signs indicating the need for professional pet dental work from our Satellite Beach vet clinic include:
- Bad breath
- Difficulty chewing or reluctance to eat
- Loose teeth
- Oral bleeding
- Red gums
- Swollen gums
Dental Health Tips
Brushing your pet’s teeth daily is the gold standard for oral hygiene, but we know that’s not always possible. Luckily, there are additional ways to keep your furry friend’s grin healthy.
Dental Chews:
Dental chews are a fun and rewarding way to promote good oral health. The act of chewing helps remove plaque buildup, and many chews boast ingredients that further support dental hygiene. Look for the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal for verified effectiveness.
Diet with Dental Defense:
Many pet food and treat options go the extra mile for dental health. These formulas often feature kibble textures designed to scrape teeth and may contain ingredients known to benefit gums and teeth. Talk to your veterinarian about dental-focused food options for your pet.
Regular Professional Cleanings:
Don’t forget the importance of professional dental cleanings recommended by your veterinarian. Our staff in Satellite Beach specialize in dog and cat dental cleanings, and take the opportunity with these cleanings to remove stubborn tartar buildup that at-home methods can’t tackle and allow for a complete oral health evaluation.
By incorporating these additional practices into your pet’s routine, you can significantly contribute to their long-term dental health, even when brushing isn’t always an option. Discuss these options with our veterinarian dog and cat teeth cleaning experts in Satelite Beach to create a personalized dental care plan for your pet!
