Pet Dental Care

Many health problems start in the mouth. Plaque, tartar, periodontal disease, and infected teeth serve as a source of inflammation and infection for the rest of the body. There are many ways that dog and cat owners can help their veterinarian provide a healthy mouth for their pet. Our dental services at Great Oaks Animal Hospital include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery.

• One milligram of plaque contains over one trillion potentially disease-causing bacteria.
• By keeping up with your pets dental care, you can extend their life expectancy by 3-5 years.
