Healthy Smiles, Healthier Lives

Dental health plays a major role in your pet’s overall well-being. At Pet Pals Animal Hospital, we provide professional dental care to help prevent and treat periodontal disease—keeping your pet’s mouth clean, comfortable, and pain-free.

Why Pet Dental Care Matters

Dental disease is one of the most common and under-diagnosed conditions in pets. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain, tooth loss, and even damage to internal organs like the heart and kidneys.

The most effective way to protect your pet’s oral health? Routine professional cleanings and proactive dental care from your veterinary team.

Our Dental Services Include

Professional Dental Cleanings

Professional Dental Cleanings

Our dental cleanings go far beyond what’s possible at home. We gently scale away plaque and tartar from the teeth and under the gumline, polish the enamel to help prevent future buildup, and probe around each tooth to check for pockets, infection, or looseness.

Full-Mouth Dental Radiographs

Full-Mouth Dental Radiographs

Because most dental disease occurs beneath the gumline, we take digital dental X-rays of every tooth. This allows us to detect issues like root abscesses, bone loss, or hidden fractures before they become painful problems.

Tooth Extractions (If Needed)

Tooth Extractions (If Needed)

If we find fractured, infected, painful, or non-viable teeth during your pet’s COHAT (Complete Oral Health Assessment and Treatment), we remove them during the same procedure—eliminating the source of pain and promoting healing.

When Should My Pet Have a Dental Cleaning?

We typically recommend annual dental evaluations and cleanings, but more frequent visits may be necessary for certain breeds or pets with ongoing dental issues. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule a visit:

  • Bad breath
  • Drooling
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Red or bleeding gums
  • Loose or discolored teeth
  • Pawing at the mouth
