Veterinary Dentistry
Keeping your pet’s mouth healthy is extremely important to the overall health of your pet. Numerous studies suggest and confirm that poor oral hygiene and periodontal disease can contribute to disease of the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys.
Kingsdale Animal Hospital is equipped to offer many dental procedures from routine cleaning to advanced tooth extraction. Importantly, Kingsdale has a dental radiography (dental x-rays) unit available so we are able to quickly assess your pets teeth to ensure proper diagnosis and therefore treatment.
Having your pet’s teeth cleaned by your veterinarian will restore dental health by removing all plaque and tartar, sub-gingival flushing and addressing any disorders of the teeth and oral cavity. Contrary to popular belief, dogs and cats often continue to eat and act normal, even in the face of the most advanced stages of periodontal disease. The owners usually see a positive benefit in their pet after a dental cleaning/prophy by noticing a better appetite, more interest in playing with toys, more active, etc.
