Dental care to keep pet’s teeth and gums healthy.
Veterinary Dentistry
Proper dental care helps prevent serious health issues in cats and dogs. Green Level Animal Hospital performs routine dental exams, professional dental cleanings, and tooth extractions through our dentistry services for the pets of Cary, NC. Our staff will guide you through the best practices for maintaining your pet’s dental hygiene at home and provide the necessary treatments to address any oral health issues.
Dental care affects
your pet.
Pets can suffer from dental problems that impact their overall health. Untreated dental disease can lead to pain and infection and even affect your pet’s organs, such as the heart and kidneys. Regular dental care, both at home and with your veterinarian, prevents these issues. Keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy will not only improve their quality of life but also extend their lifespan. By prioritizing dental care through quality pet dentistry, you can help prevent common problems such as plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay from entering your pet’s life.
Annual dental exams should be scheduled with a veterinarian.
During your pet’s annual veterinary visit, we will perform a thorough dental exam to check the health of the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. For pets new to our clinic in need of a dental cleaning, we may perform this exam as part of a dental consultation. Our veterinarians will examine your pet’s mouth for signs of plaque, tartar, gum disease, and any other abnormalities that could affect their dental health. Regular dental exams for pets catch issues before they develop into more serious problems.
This exam is also the perfect opportunity to talk about at-home dental care. Ask us to give tips on how to brush your pet’s teeth, recommend dental-friendly food or treats, and guide you on the best ways to maintain their oral hygiene between visits.
We perform pet teeth cleanings and tooth extractions
Professional pet dental cleanings bolster your pet’s oral health. These cleanings are performed under anesthesia so that your pet remains still while we thoroughly clean and polish their teeth. Before the procedure, blood work will be performed to ensure it is safe for your pet to undergo anesthesia. During the teeth cleaning, we remove plaque and tartar, clean beneath the gum line, and polish the teeth to help prevent future buildup. This thorough dental cleaning helps prevent gum disease and other serious dental problems that could impact your pet’s overall health.
In some cases, a tooth may need to be extracted due to severe decay, infection, or damage. We will always let pet owners know in advance if we anticipate the need for a tooth extraction. However, if something unexpected is discovered during a dental cleaning, we will contact you immediately to discuss the next steps. Please confirm your available phone number before any procedure to ensure we can reach you promptly.
There are signs that your pet needs
a dental appointment.
If your pet is showing signs of dental problems, those should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further discomfort. Common signs include:
- Bad Breath
- Difficulty Eating
- Pawing at the Mouth
- Excessive Drooling
- Swollen or Bleeding Gums
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us to schedule a dental exam right away. At Green Level Animal Hospital, we offer same-day appointments and walk-ins for dental consultations so your pet doesn’t have to suffer from dental pain any longer than necessary. If a more advanced procedure, such as an extraction, is required, we will schedule the procedure at the next available opening to relieve your pet’s discomfort and restore their oral health.
