Oral Health Is Essential to Overall Wellness
Dental health plays a major role in your pet’s comfort and long-term wellbeing. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and painful infections if left untreated.
At Martin Animal Clinic, we provide comprehensive dental care for dogs and cats to help prevent disease and restore oral health when needed.
Professional Dental Cleanings & Evaluation
A professional dental procedure includes:
- Full oral examination
- Ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar
- Polishing to smooth tooth surfaces
- Periodontal evaluation
- Dental X-rays when indicated
Because pets do not tolerate deep cleaning while awake, dental procedures are performed under carefully monitored anesthesia to ensure safety and comfort.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
You may notice:
- Bad breath
- Red or bleeding gums
- Difficulty chewing
- Pawing at the mouth
- Loose or damaged teeth
Even without obvious symptoms, many pets develop dental disease below the gumline — which is why routine dental evaluations are important.
Preventing & Treating Dental Disease
We combine in-house dental procedures with guidance for at-home care to help maintain results. In cases of advanced disease, extractions may be recommended to relieve pain and prevent infection from spreading.
Healthy teeth support a healthier life.
