Pet Dental Care
Healthy teeth and gums are just as important for pets as they are for people
Keeping Your Pet’s Smile Healthy
Intown Animal Hospital supports your companion’s lasting health with comprehensive pet dental care in Atlanta, GA, at both our Morningside and Midtown locations.
What Is Veterinary Dental Care?
Veterinary dental care involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health issues in pets. Just like humans, pets can suffer from:
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Gingivitis and periodontal disease
- Broken, loose, or infected teeth
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Oral pain or inflammation
At Intown Animal Hospital, we offer professional dental cleanings, tooth extractions, and minor oral surgeries for both dogs and cats. Whether your companion needs a routine dog dental cleaning, treatment for oral discomfort, or a referral for more advanced veterinary dentistry and oral surgery, we’re here to help your furry family member enjoy a cleaner, healthier mouth.
Why Is Pet Dental Care Important?
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues affecting dogs and cats, but because symptoms can be hard to notice, it often goes undetected by pet owners. By age three, most pets show signs of periodontal disease, which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
Untreated dental disease can:
- Cause chronic pain and difficulty eating
- Lead to infection and tooth loss
- Affect internal organs through the spread of bacteria via the bloodstream
- Reduce your pet’s quality of life and lifespan
Routine visits to a qualified animal dental clinic can prevent these problems and keep your pet’s smile shining bright.
What to Expect During a Dental Visit
When you bring your pet in for a dental appointment at Intown Animal Hospital, you can expect:
01
Comprehensive Oral Exam
Your veterinarian will assess your pet’s teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
02
Professional Dental Cleaning Under Anesthesia
This includes ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar, followed by polishing to smooth the enamel and prevent future buildup.
03
Tooth Extractions or Minor Oral Surgery
If damaged or infected teeth are found, we may recommend extractions or other procedures to restore comfort and function.
04
At-Home Dental Care Guidance
We’ll provide tips and tools for maintaining your pet’s oral health at home, such as brushing, dental chews, and rinses.
