Dental Health

Dental Health Services:

At Oz Animal Hospital, we are committed to providing advanced dental and surgical care for your pet in a safe, fully-equipped environment. Our skilled team uses the latest techniques and adheres to strict standards in anesthesia, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and a smooth recovery for each procedure.

Maintaining your pet’s dental health is essential to their overall well-being and can prevent chronic issues. We recommend full-mouth X-rays with dental procedures to catch potential problems at the root level. Using ultrasonic tools, we thoroughly remove tartar buildup and address any issues through extractions or root surgeries if needed. Afterward, we discuss our findings with you and offer guidance on at-home care to support your pet’s ongoing dental health.

Some Signs of Dental Problems include:

  • Bad breath – one of the first signs of dental disease
  • A yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line
  • Red and swollen gums
  • Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched
  • Decreased appetite or difficulty eatingLoose or missing teeth

Clean teeth and healthy gums are essential to your pet’s health. Infections are more common in the mouth because they can go undetected for long periods of time. Our veterinary staff regularly performs oral exams, cleanings, and periodontal care as part of our comprehensive health care goals.
