Why Regular Dental Care Matters for Pets
What a Pet Dentist Can Do
Our team performs full oral exams, dental cleanings, extractions, and treatment for periodontal disease. Each dental procedure includes a pre-anesthetic exam, anesthesia monitoring, and pain management tailored to your pet’s condition.
Symptoms That Indicate Your Pet Needs Dental Care
It’s not always obvious when a pet is experiencing oral discomfort. However, the following signs may suggest it’s time to book appointment with a pet dentist:
- Bad breath (often persistent)
- Loose, broken, or missing teeth
- Yellow or brown discoloration on teeth
- Red, inflamed, or bleeding gums
- Drooling more than usual
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Difficulty chewing or refusal to eat hard food
If you notice any of these symptoms, professional evaluation and treatment may be necessary.
Pet Teeth Cleaning and Dental Services
SouthPark Animal Clinic offers complete dog teeth cleaning services, using ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline. Dental X-rays are available when needed to assess structures not visible during a physical exam.
We also offer pet dentistry services for cats, including evaluation and treatment for feline resorptive lesions, which are a common and painful condition affecting many adult cats.

Investing in regular dental care can prevent complex health issues, improve your pet’s ability to eat comfortably, and reduce the need for more invasive treatments in the future.

- Early detection and treatment of dental disease

- Fresher breath and cleaner teeth

Ongoing Dental Care at Home
In addition to professional cleanings, home dental care plays an important role in your pet’s oral health. Our veterinary team can recommend toothbrushes, dental chews, or prescription diets that support your pet’s daily dental routine.
