DENTAL CARE
Your pet's dental health plays a key role in your pet's overall health and longevity
Dental disease causes oral pain and poses some serious health risks!
…like internal organ damage through migration of bacteria into the bloodstream – yikes!
At Towanda Creek Animal Hospital
We offer routine dental care performed by the best.
This includes:
piezo scaling, polishing, and fluoride application to your pet’s teeth
We also extract diseased teeth, using pain management during and after the procedure.
Wait...
Did we mention we have a dental Xray unit that helps us examine tooth roots and see tooth fractures not evident to the naked eye? That’s right – only the best for your pet.
Of course, in addition to scheduled dental visits, we encourage you to practice daily home dental care for your pets. Regular removal of plaque build-up through brushing or wiping your pet’s teeth will aid in preventing gingivitis and periodontitis. Ask our knowledgeable staff for recommendations on dental diets, products, and brushing methods that will keep your dog or cat’s teeth healthy.
