Healthy teeth do more than create a bright smile
Good oral health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being. At Garfield Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care designed to protect your pet’s teeth, gums, and long-term health. Our dental services focus on prevention, early detection, and effective treatment to help your pet stay comfortable and healthy at every stage of life.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Complete dental cleaning and preventive care
Our professional dental cleanings go beyond removing visible plaque. Each procedure begins with a thorough evaluation, including digital dental X-rays, to identify issues below the gumline that may not be visible during a routine exam.
We perform detailed cleaning above and below the gums using ultrasonic scaling, followed by polishing to smooth the tooth surface. When appropriate, we may recommend additional protective treatments to help reduce future plaque and tartar buildup and support long-lasting oral health.
Advanced Dental Services
Comprehensive care for complex dental conditions
In addition to routine cleanings, Garfield Animal Hospital offers advanced dental treatments for more serious oral health concerns. Our veterinary team is experienced in managing periodontal disease, performing tooth extractions when necessary, and providing treatment options for dental injuries or infections.
When possible, we focus on preserving healthy teeth and restoring comfort while addressing the underlying cause of dental disease.
Dental Health Assessment
A complete evaluation of your pet’s oral health
Every dental visit begins with a detailed assessment of your pet’s mouth. We carefully examine the teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues to check for signs of disease, inflammation, or injury. This thorough evaluation allows us to catch issues early and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Home Dental Care Education
Healthy habits between cleanings make a big difference
Maintaining oral health at home plays a key role in preventing dental disease. Our team will guide you through practical at-home dental care techniques, including brushing tips and daily routines that fit your lifestyle.
We can also recommend dental diets, chews, and oral health products that help slow plaque and tartar buildup between professional cleanings.
