Pet Dentistry

At Galt Animal Hospital, we know how important dental health is for pets. Our pet dentistry services provide comprehensive dental care to help your dog or cat stay healthy and comfortable.

Why Pet Dentistry Matters

Dental care is about more than fresh breath. Pets with untreated dental issues often suffer in silence, experiencing pain and discomfort. Oral hygiene is a significant part of your pet’s overall well-being, and our experienced team is here to make it easy and stress-free for you and your pet.

Regular pet dentistry, including dog teeth cleaning, can prevent serious health problems and keep your pet feeling their best. Galt Animal Hospital offers a range of pet dental services tailored to fit the specific needs of dogs and cats. 

We understand that dental care can be stressful for some pets. Our veterinary team is experienced in creating a calm and reassuring environment, with special attention to making sure each patient feels safe and comfortable.

Our Pet Dentistry Services

Our services cover all aspects of pet dental health, including preventive care and more advanced procedures if needed. Each service we offer is designed to make your pet’s dental care as effective and comfortable as possible.

Dental Consultations

If you notice signs that your pet might have dental problems, such as bad breath, difficulty eating, or excessive drooling, our dental consultations provide a thorough examination to identify the root cause. We can then recommend a personalized treatment plan to address your pet’s specific needs.

Routine Dog Teeth Cleaning and Exams

Professional teeth cleaning is one of the most essential services for your pet’s dental health. During a teeth cleaning, our team removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing at home can’t address. By doing this, we help reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and infection.

Digital Dental Radiographs

Digital radiographs, or X-rays, provide a clear look at the health of your pet’s teeth below the gumline. These images are key in diagnosing issues like cracked teeth, abscesses, and root problems that can’t be seen during a routine exam. Our team at uses radiographs to identify and address issues before they lead to further discomfort or complications.

Pet Dental Surgery

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat advanced dental conditions, including extractions or treatment for oral tumors. Our veterinary team handles each surgical case with the utmost care to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.

Benefits of Regular Pet Dentistry

Routine dental care comes with numerous benefits that go beyond your pet’s oral health.

  • Pain Relief and Comfort: Treating dental issues alleviates pain and discomfort, helping pets eat, play, and enjoy life without pain.
  • Prevention of Serious Illness: Dental infections can spread to the heart, kidneys, and liver. Regular cleanings reduce the risk of these severe complications.
  • Improved Breath: Professional dog teeth cleaning addresses the root causes of bad breath, leading to fresher-smelling kisses.
  • Healthier Gums and Teeth: Regular dental care prevents gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss, keeping your pet’s mouth healthy.
