Slide Request Appointment More life. More love. More memories. Advanced dentistry for dogs and cats.

Slide Wellness Visits Most people visit the dentist twice yearly and brush their teeth several times per day. We often forget that pets also have teeth and need the same oral health care as your human family members to keep them optimally healthy. Periodontal disease starts in most dogs and cats by 3 years of age, beginning with plaque and tartar buildup that causes minor gum inflammation, and progressing to bacterial infection, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. This painful process can occur over many years, or only a few months in severely affected pets. Left untreated, bacteria invade the gums and jawbones and may spread through the blood, irreversibly damaging important organs, including the heart, kidneys, and liver. Dental Care

Slide Annual Dental Check-ups
Periodontal disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in dogs and cats, but pets are experts at hiding their discomfort, so the disease often goes unnoticed. Dental disease signs may include:
  • Bad breath
  • Yellow or brown tooth discoloration
  • Changes in eating or chewing habits
  • Dropping food
  • Drooling
  • Pawing at the mouth
At Cedarwood Veterinary & Animal Emergency Hospital, we recommend annual dental check-ups to identify periodontal disease and discuss treatment options, if necessary. Daily preventive dental care that includes regular toothbrushing with pet-specific toothpaste, dental chews, water additives, and dental treats or diets can significantly slow or stop periodontal disease progression. Regular professional dental cleanings and assessments are also required for complete oral health. 

During a professional dental cleaning, our team will:
  • Safely anesthetize your pet
  • Take X-rays to evaluate tooth root and bone health
  • Perform a complete oral examination and tooth charting
  • Perform a thorough cleaning
  • Extract loose, fractured, infected, or damaged teeth

Dental Health

Dental health is a concern for all pets, but certain breeds and body types are more prone to serious, fast-progressing disease. These pets, including toy and small breeds and brachycephalic (i.e., short-nosed) breeds, often require more frequent cleanings. Aggressive chewers prone to breaking their teeth may also require frequent evaluations and X-rays to address fracture complications.
