service 9

Dental health is an important part of your pet's overall well-being. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, pain, tooth loss and other oral health problems if left untreated.

During a dental scaling procedure, your pet's teeth are professionally cleaned to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. The veterinary team can also assess the teeth and gums for signs of dental disease or other concerns.

Regular dental care, along with appropriate home care and routine veterinary check-ups, can help maintain healthy teeth and gums and reduce the risk of dental problems.
