Dentistry
Dental procedures include everything from routine cleaning and periodontal disease checks, to x-rays and extractions - all of which are vital steps to keeping your pet healthy!
Pet dental care is an important part of overall pet health - and especially when done as part of preventive care, can significantly boost a pet’s quality of life Sploot offers a wide range of pet dental care, from oral exams and teeth cleaning to x-rays and extractions.
Why is dental care so important for cats and dogs?
It’s all about those three magic words: quality of life!
Just like a human’s quality of life would likely suffer without regular teeth brushing, teeth cleanings, and regular check-ups, a pet’s quality of life would likely suffer, too. And because, of course, cats and dogs cannot clean their own teeth, it’s even more important for pet parents to recognize the need for regular pet dental care.Common oral conditions and diseases pets can face are tooth decay, gum disease, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Without consistent dental care, plaque and tartar build on teeth and underneath gums - and without X-rays, the issues may escape a pet parent’s notice! Over time, these conditions can lead to inflammation, pain, infection, and tooth decay or loss; in more serious cases, plaque and bacteria accumulated in the teeth and gum area can enter a pet’s bloodstream, and affect organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.The good news? Regular dental care can help prevent dental and oral disease, and just as importantly, can help prevent pain and discomfort for your beloved furry family member!
