Dental health is a very important part of your pet’s overall health, and dental problems can cause, or be caused by, other health problems. Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year, to check for early signs of a problem and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
February is Dental Health Month and you can save 10% off your pet’s dental cleaning when you book your dental cleaning here at Coastal Veterinary.
Veterinary dentistry typically includes the cleaning, adjustment, filing, extraction, or repair of your pets’ teeth and all other aspects of oral health care. The process begins with an oral exam of your pet’s mouth by a veterinarian. Radiographs (x-rays) may be needed to evaluate the health of the jaw and the tooth roots below the gum line. Because most dental disease occurs below the gum line, where you can’t see it, a thorough dental cleaning and evaluation are performed under anesthesia. Dental cleaning includes scaling (to remove dental plaque and tartar) and polishing, similar to the process used on your own teeth during your regular dental cleanings.
Please contact Coastal Veterinary for more info, or to schedule a dental for your pet. 302-524-8550
