Periodontal Disease Prevention & Dental Care For Dogs and Cats

When you take care of your pet's teeth, you improve their quality of life as well. In addition to brushing your pet's teeth every day, scheduling your pet to have a dental cleaning once a year is one of the most important things you can do to help maintain your pet's good health.

​Clean teeth means fresh breath and better snuggles!  When your pet has bad breath it can be an indicator of dental disease. Other indicators can also include a lack of appetite. Periodontal disease is one of the most common medical diseases for cats and dogs.

“It's estimated that by the age of two, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some form of periodontal disease." The AVMA recommends that pet owners brush their pets' teeth every day, or at least several times a week.

Why Is Anesthesia Used For Dental Cleanings?

Tracy Animal Hospital provides a full array of pet dental care services for both cats and dogs. We also perform all of our pet dental cleanings and procedures under anesthesia. Anesthetized dental cleanings with full mouth dental radiographs are the only way to perform a thorough oral exam, properly assess and address all periodontal issues, and clean the bacteria from below the gum line. It is best for the safety of your pet and the staff. We take into consideration the age and health of a pet prior to recommending the use of anesthesia as there are certain risks associated with this procedure.
