Dental Care – Central Animal Hospital

A Keystone of Health

Dental care for dogs and cats.

Dental Care

We understand the crucial role dental health plays in your pet's overall well-being. Did you know that periodontal disease is the most common disease of dogs and cats? It is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic pain in dogs and cats. As the disease progresses it can lead to serious health issues impacting vital organs such as the heart and kidneys. We are committed to providing comprehensive dental care services to keep your furry companions' mouths healthy.

What To Expect

Here is what you can expect from a comprehensive anesthetized dental treatment at Central Animal Hospital.

The procedure starts with a pre-anesthetic physical exam.
We run a complete blood panel to evaluate organ function so that our doctors can individually tailor your pet’s anesthetic needs.
An EKG (electrocardiogram) is performed to make sure your pet’s heart is healthy for anesthetic.
A veterinary technician is dedicated to your pet’s care for the entire day, including monitoring them while they are anesthetized and during the recovery period.
A second veterinary technician will act as their dental hygienist, cleaning and polishing their teeth and taking x-rays of their teeth. They will also record any abnormalities seen on a dental chart.
The doctor will evaluate the x-rays and examine your pet’s mouth. If there are any concerns with their teeth or gums, the doctor will call and discuss recommendations with you.
Your pet will go home later in the day during a scheduled discharge appointment, where we will review the dental chart and x-rays with you. We will also discuss any special care they need.
