Dental Care

Dental treat bitten by Port Charlotte Dog

Keeping up with a routine dental care program is an essential part of keeping your dog or cat in good health. Dental disease affects many cats and dogs, causing a variety of health problems. Although pets may be affected differently by dental disease, if you notice any of the following symptoms in your pet, you should schedule them for a dental consultation with our veterinary staff as soon as possible.

  • Bad Breath

  • Changes in eating habits or difficulty chewing

  • Pawing at the face or mouth

  • Excessive Drooling

  • Depression

  • Misaligned or missing teeth

  • Discolored, broken or crooked teeth

  • Red, swollen, painful or bleeding gums

Dental disease causes a variety of health issues for both dogs and cats. By releasing dangerous bacteria into the bloodstream, dental disease can present greater risks for kidney, liver and heart disease. If left untreated, it may also cause your pet severe pain from painful or bleeding gums.

Why Pets Need Dental Care

Both dogs and cats need regular dental cleanings as they increase both the length and quality of their life. Some benefits of regular dental cleanings include:

  • The ability to chart and evaluate pet dental disease over a period of time

  • Prevention of expensive and advanced pet dental procedures

  • Less teeth extractions (pulling) for your pet

Dental Disease Statistics

Charlotte Animal Hospital sees more pets with dental disease than any other problem. Statistics show that dental disease is the most common disease in dogs. 92% of dogs over the age of three are affected. Although less prevalent in cats, statistics show that 85% of cats over the age of three struggle with the disease. However, scheduling annual pet dental cleanings can add 2-4 years to your pet’s life!

Dental Care in Port Charlotte

Charlotte Animal Hospital’s staff and licensed veterinarians are equipped with the latest technologies to make pet dental visits safe and easy. Some of these dental procedures include:

  • Dental X-rays

  • Teeth cleaning and polishing

  • Deciduous (pet baby teeth), Surgical and routine tooth extractions

  • Full mouth teeth removal

  • Use of radiosurgery or laser surgery for Gingival surgery

  • Repair of Oronasal fistula

  • Oral surgery for dogs or cats

  • Mandibulectomy

  • Jaw repair (fracture)

Pet Dental Cleanings - What to Expect?

While under general anesthesia, your dog or cat can receive a thorough dental cleaning. Charlotte Animal Hospital uses a safe, local anesthesia and monitors your pet’s heart rate, oxygen and respiration.

Before dental care begins, blood tests are done to help uncover any underlying illnesses, and we examine the animal’s entire mouth, including lips, tongue, gums and teeth. This assures us that anesthetizing is safe for your pet.
