Healthy Smiles, Happy Pets: Our Pet Dentistry Expertise

At Finn Hill Animal Hospital, we believe that good dental care is a fundamental component of your pet’s overall well-being. Like humans, proper dental hygiene for your dog or cat can significantly impact their health, well-being, and longevity. Our pet dentistry services are here to ensure that your beloved companions enjoy healthy smiles and happier lives.

Our Dental Cleaning Process

Our dental cleaning procedures include a comprehensive oral examination performed under anesthesia. Our skilled team conducts a thorough assessment to effectively diagnose and treat periodontal disease. We use state-of-the-art digital dental radiology to provide us with a clear view of both above and below your pet’s gum line, enabling us to identify hidden dental issues.

Our dental cleaning process encompasses several vital steps:

Dental Scaling:

Removal of plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gum line.

Tooth Extractions:

We perform extractions to address damaged or problematic teeth if necessary.

Polishing:

Smoothing the tooth surfaces to discourage plaque and tartar buildup.

Irrigation and Fluoride Application:

To promote oral health and protect against further dental issues.

We will discuss potential treatment options and outcomes with you if we identify any dental problems during the examination, such as gum or tooth erosion, gingivitis, or excessive plaque accumulation.

Prevention is Key

Preventing dental issues is the best approach to maintaining your pet's oral health. While regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential, ongoing at-home oral care plays a crucial role in controlling plaque and tartar buildup. We are happy to provide guidance and demonstrations on the best techniques for at-home dental care, emphasizing the importance of using toothpaste formulated specifically for pets.
