Pet Dental Care

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet’s teeth. Without proper dental care, bacteria and plaque begin to build-up on your pet’s teeth, hardening into tartar which causes gingivitis, receding gums, and tooth loss. If left untreated, dental disease can lead to severe pain, oral infection, and even infections within your pet’s organ systems.

Professional Pet Dental Care at Lake Worth Animal Hospital

We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean your pet’s teeth thoroughly above and below the gum line. Our technicians polish your dog or cat’s teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. 

At-Home Dental Care

In addition to our professional dental exams, we strongly recommend regular at-home dental care to prevent the buildup of plaque on your pet’s teeth.  The best thing that you can do to help your pet maintain good oral hygiene is to brush their teeth at home. Make sure that when you brush your pet’s teeth at home you are using a pet toothbrush and pet dental paste. In addition, it is important to create a routine for your pet, so try to develop the habit of brushing your pet’s teeth every day  at the same time.
