Pet Dental Procedures

Maintaining your pet’s dental health is essential for their overall well-being. At The Animal Wellness Center of Danville, we specialize in pet dentistry services to help keep your pet’s teeth clean and their mouth healthy, offering compassionate care tailored to their needs.

Why Is Pet Dentistry Important?

Oral health is closely connected to your pet’s overall health. Without regular dental care, pets can develop problems like gum disease, tooth loss, or infections that may affect other parts of their body. Routine dental care can:

  • Prevent painful oral conditions
  • Reduce the risk of systemic health issues linked to poor oral hygiene
  • Ensure your pet eats comfortably and maintains a healthy diet

By addressing your pet’s dental health early, you can prevent costly and complex procedures down the road.

How to Tell If Your Pet Needs Dental Care?

Pets can’t tell us when something is wrong, but there are clear signs that may indicate dental issues. Watch for these symptoms:

  • Bad breath (halitosis)
  • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth (tartar)
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Reluctance to eat or chewing on one side of the mouth
  • Excessive drooling or pawing at the mouth
  • Loose, broken, or missing teeth
  • Behavioral changes, such as irritability or withdrawing from interaction

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a visit with our pet dentist to assess your pet’s oral health.

When to Schedule Dog Teeth Cleaning and Other Dental Services?
