Imagine how your mouth would feel, and smell, if you never brushed your teeth.
Imagine having a really bad toothache and not being able to tell anyone about it!
Just like humans, our pets are vulnerable to gum disease and problems with their teeth.
Alarmingly, 80% of dogs suffer from some form of dental disease by the age of three (3).
The health of their teeth and gums has a significant impact on their overall quality of life.
Finding problems early improves longevity and quality of life for your pet.
A six month pet dental check up is equivalent to approximately three and a half years dental appointment for humans.
That is why we have implemented the annual Dental Awareness month for August. It sounds simple however this reminder yields many benefits for both you and your pet.
Dental Awareness Benefits:
-
Allows the opportunity for early detection and treatment of disease
-
Removal or reduction in discomfort and or pain that was not easily evident to us
-
Early detection of disease often gives us more effective and less costly treatment options
-
Opportunity to maintain health and assist in prevention of illness throughout your pet’s lifetime

What has changed with our dental procedures?
We are excited to announce that every dental cleaning procedure now includes a full set of Dental Radiographs!
Approximately 60% of the tooth structure remains below the gum line, leaving only 40% of the tooth available for evaluation without imaging. Dental radiographs often reveal dental problems that may not be apparent during a routine visual examination.
Dental radiographs assist in identifying issues such as hidden cavities, tooth structure abnormalities, root infections, tooth fractures, non-vital (dead) teeth, tooth resorption, fractures, and oral cancer, among others.
I’d like my pet to participate in the Dental Care Program. What do I do?
