If you want to help ensure that your pet enjoys good health, make sure that you take pet dental care seriously. If your pet isn’t provided with regular dental care, including oral health exams and dental cleanings, the risk of various conditions, such as cavities and gum infections, may increase substantially. We’ll cover some of the most common procedures your cat, dog, or other pet is likely to undergo at our veterinarian clinic but get in touch if you have more questions. If your pet needs help with dental health, schedule an appointment with us at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Center. We serve Boca Raton, FL, and other communities in the area.

Pet Dental Cleanings
The most common dental procedure among pets and humans alike is dental cleaning. A veterinary expert can provide hands-on care to remove plaque and tartar. The veterinarian will also keep a close eye out for conditions like gum disease and cavities while performing a cleaning. If such issues are discovered, further treatment may be needed. Your pet may also have to go under pet anesthesia to make sure he stays still during the process.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions can be used to remove infected teeth. This can help prevent tooth pain and could help stop infections from spreading. Your pet will likely have to go under anesthesia for this procedure as well.
Preventing month infection is important. If left unchecked, a mouth infection can spread to other areas of your pet’s body and lead to serious health complications.
Dental X-Rays
It can be difficult to determine what is wrong with a pet based solely on visual examinations. X-rays may reveal problems, such as a jaw fracture, that otherwise might go unnoticed. Your pet may also need to be put under anesthesia to take the X-rays if he can’t stay still.
