Pet Dentistry at Alton Animal Clinic
Dentistry is a very important part of your pet’s health care.
Dental care is one of the most important parts of preventative health care. Periodontal disease is a devastating consequence of a lack of proper dental care. Besides being painful for the patient, periodontal disease can adversely affect other organ systems in your pet.
Each dental procedure at Alton Animal Clinic includes full-mouth radiographs. We also recommend the application of an enamel sealant after each dental procedure to help prevent calculus return for 6 months. Our state-of-the-art dental equipment will help maintain a healthy mouth and add years of quality life for your furry family member!
Signs Your Pet Needs a Dental Appointment May Include:
- Tartar or calculus buildup
- Any degree of gingivitis
Signs of serious oral issues for your pet may include, but are not limited to:
- Bad breath
- Loss of appetite
- Discolored or loose teeth
- Pain around the lips, nose, jaw, or swelling under the eye
If your pet has any of the above symptoms, call us to schedule an appointment.
