Dental Care
Dental disease in pets is often overlooked since the signs can be challenging to recognize and because our pets can hide their dental disease. We can prevent many painful dental issues with dental exams, regular dental cleanings, and good at home dental care.
During each dental, a veterinarian does a thorough oral exam to evaluate each tooth and determines if any teeth would need to be extracted. We use a modern and safe ultrasonic scaler to clean each tooth above and below the gum line. Our veterinary technicians polish the teeth to create a smooth surface that is more resistant to plaque buildup. Finally, we can provide education and samples of dental products to help keep your pet’s teeth healthy!
Dental X-Rays
Periodontal disease is one of the most common problems of dogs and cats. By 2-3 years old, 70-80% of dogs and cats can have some component of dental disease! Since 60% of the tooth lies underneath the gumline, teeth that look okay can be surprisingly infected under the gumlines! Dental x- rays are a fast, easy, and inexpensive diagnostic tool to evaluate your pets oral health. They can detect missing or retained teeth, resorptive lesions, jaw fractures, and more!
At Petplex Animal Hospital, we offer the best and most advanced in dental radiography in Buckeye Lake, Ohio. We have the capabilities of panoramic and intraoral dental x-rays. Panoramic dental x-ray images provide a full view of the entire mouth in a single image and can detect bone defects and jaw lesions.
All dog and cat dental cleanings include full mouth dental x-rays. Once all of the teeth have been x-rayed, our veterinarian will review them and decide what treatment, if any, is required for each tooth.
Our pets cannot tell us when their teeth are diseased or when they are in pain. Dental x-rays are a very important tool to evaluate your pets oral health and can provide an opportunity to improve the quality of life of pets. Talk to us about your pet’s teeth and oral health today!
