Veterinary Dentistry for Dogs & Cats
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets. Plaque, tartar, gingivitis, infected teeth, and periodontal disease can cause pain, bad breath, difficulty eating, and long-term health concerns.
At East Side Animal Hospital, we provide safe, thorough, and compassionate dental care using modern dental equipment, anesthesia monitoring, and dental radiography when recommended.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
Our Pet Dental Services
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.
Digital Dental X-Rays
Dental radiographs help identify hidden tooth root disease, bone loss, fractures, and cat tooth resorption.
Tooth Extractions
Painful, infected, loose, or fractured teeth may need extraction to restore comfort and prevent infection.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
We diagnose and treat gum disease to help protect your pet’s oral and overall health.
Why Dental X-Rays Matter
Many dental problems occur below the gumline where they cannot be seen during a visual exam. Dental X-rays allow our veterinary team to detect hidden disease and create the safest treatment plan for your pet.
Safe Anesthesia & Monitoring
Dental procedures are performed under anesthesia for safety, comfort, and proper cleaning below the gumline. We recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitor your pet closely during the procedure.
