DENTAL CARE FOR YOUR PET

Dental

It can be difficult to know when pets are living with dental pain because they may continue to eat, drink, and play as they normally do. We offer a range of treatment options including dental exams, cleanings, and extractions when necessary.

· Periodontal disease is the most prevalent disease in veterinary medicine, affecting the majority of dogs and cats over three years of age. If untreated, it results in the destruction of normal tissue structure, discomfort, and tooth loss.

· Many systemic diseases such as viral disease, diabetes, and immune disorders, can cause complications in the mouth. Oral inflammation is common in cats and can be managed by a variety of methods.

Healthy Teeth and Gums for a Happy Life

Our team at Oldham County Veterinary Services, LLC is dedicated to providing the best dental care for your pets. Mouth hygiene is extremely crucial and teeth that aren't taken care of can result in a lot of pain. According to the American Veterinary Dental College more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental disease can be very uncomfortable for pets and the longer it is left untreated, the more complicated and expensive it becomes to treat. Furthermore, improper care of your pet's teeth can often be the cause of serious illness. If left untreated, dental problems can lead to larger systemic problems in your pet due to oral bacteria entering the blood stream and damaging the kidneys, heart and liver.

 We provide general cleaning (prophylaxis) and work to reduce dental disease. We also perform extractions if needed.
