A Healthy Smile Means a Healthier Pet
Complete Dental Care for Dogs and Cats
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues affecting pets, and it often goes unnoticed. At Broomall Animal Hospital, we take your pet’s oral health seriously. Our veterinary dentistry services are designed to prevent dental disease, treat existing issues, and improve your pet’s overall wellness.
Just like people, pets need routine dental cleanings and exams to remove plaque and tartar, protect their teeth and gums, and prevent future problems. Whether you’re seeing signs of bad breath or just staying ahead of prevention, we’re here to help.
Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Cleaning
If your dog or cat is experiencing oral discomfort, the signs can be subtle. Look for symptoms such as:
-
Bad breath (halitosis)
-
Drooling or pawing at the mouth
-
Difficulty eating or chewing
-
Red or bleeding gums
-
Loose or missing teeth
-
Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a dental evaluation.
What’s Included in a Dog or Cat Dental Cleaning?
Our pet dental cleanings are performed under general anesthesia to allow for a thorough, stress-free procedure. During a cleaning, we:
- Scale and polish each tooth using ultrasonic equipment
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline
- Perform a full oral exam and chart any abnormalities
- Provide extractions or treatment recommendations if needed
- Use safe anesthetic protocols and monitoring for your pet’s comfort and safety
Every dental procedure is tailored to your pet’s needs, and we’ll review all findings with you after the cleaning.
When to Start Pet Dental Care
We recommend starting dental cleanings as early as age 3 and continuing annually—especially for pets prone to dental issues. Regular cleanings not only protect your pet’s smile, but also help prevent serious health complications linked to dental disease, including heart, liver, and kidney problems.
If your pet requires advanced dental care such as root canals or orthodontics, we can refer you to a local board-certified veterinary dentist.
