The Importance of Dental Care
Good dental care is essential for pets of all ages. Dental diseases, including periodontal disease, are incredibly common in pets and can lead to serious health issues, including heart, liver, and kidney problems. Bad breath is just the tip of the iceberg; dental diseases can cause pain, making it difficult for your furry friend to eat properly. Regular pet dental exams and cleanings can prevent these problems, so that your pet leads a long and healthy comfortable life.

Our Comprehensive Pet Dentistry Services
At Pumpkin Hill Veterinary Clinic, we offer pet dental care for all you four-legged friends needs, including:
Dental Exams: Every visit begins with a thorough dental examination to assess your pet’s oral health and identify any issues that may need attention.
Teeth Cleaning: For a deep clean that reaches every nook and cranny, we perform pet teeth cleaning under anesthesia. This allows us to remove plaque and tartar buildup both above and below the gum line, preventing periodontal disease.
Digital Dental X-rays: To see what’s happening beneath the surface, we use digital pet dental X-rays. This technology helps us identify hidden problems like tooth root abscesses or impacted teeth, ensuring no issue goes unnoticed.
Tooth Extractions: When necessary, we can perform tooth extractions to remove badly diseased or damaged teeth, relieving pain and preventing further spread of infection.
At-Home Dental Care Advice: Our care doesn’t stop at the clinic. Our veterinarians provide personalized advice for at-home dental care, including tips on brushing your pet’s teeth and recommendations for dental-friendly food and treats to keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy between visits.
