Professional Cleaning

Professional cleaning can reach areas that are difficult if not impossible to access with standard brushing. This will provide your pet with a more thorough cleaning for better health.

For the best possible results, turning to a professional is highly encouraged. A pet dentist has the specialized knowledge and experience needed to detect and address dental issues early, preventing more troublesome problems down the road.

Professional cleaning may be performed under anaesthesia to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. This allows for a more thorough clean that won’t inflict too much stress on your furry friend.

Whenever we turn to our own doctor or dentist, we do so knowing that they have the knowledge and expertise to care for us and see to our needs. We build a relationship with someone we trust, knowing that they will take good care of us. The same holds true for our pets; we turn to professionals whose knowledge can make a significant difference in the lives and well-being of our pets.

Your animal dental clinic in Langley also has specific tools and methods to provide the best possible care, including:

These tools are effective at removing plaque and tartar from the surface of the tooth and below the gumline, reducing the risk of gum disease.

Dental probes are used to assess the health of your pet’s gums and to reveal issues like periodontal pockets.

X-rays can provide important information about your pet’s teeth, roots, and jawbone, which is not visible to the naked eye.

If your pet is dealing with a more advanced dental issue, the dentist can perform surgery to correct the problem.

Using these methods, along with their own knowledge, a pet dentist can identify the early signs of dental problems such as gingivitis, tooth decay, and oral tumors. This early detection can prevent further deterioration, saving you money and saving your pet pain and discomfort.

As skilled as your pet dentist may be, you might find that you notice odd signs or behaviour in your pet between visits. Since your pet cannot communicate their discomfort verbally, here are some things to watch for that could indicate a problem:

Each of these is self-explanatory and an indicator of potential dental problems in your pet. Early detection is important as any delay in treatment can have severe consequences that affect not just their oral health, but their overall well-being as well. For example, bacteria from their mouth can enter their bloodstream and ultimately affect other organs.

By spotting issues in their earliest stages, you save your pet a great deal of discomfort, prevent more serious damage, and protect their general health.

As your animal dental clinic in Langley, we know how important dental care is to your pet’s health and enjoyment of life and our team of professionals is devoted to providing the best care that modern pet dentistry has to offer.
