You probably wouldn’t dream of going your entire life without seeing a dentist.

Unfortunately, lack of dental care is a sad reality for many pets.
While often overlooked, dental care is a crucial component of wellness care. Dealing with bad breath is commonly mistaken as a normal part of pet parenthood. However, in reality, it is a sign of underlying tooth and gum disease. And when left untreated, it can lead to devastating health problems. 

We provide pet dental care in Apex right here at Shepherds Vineyard Animal Hospital, and we’d be honored to be entrusted with caring for your dog or cat’s teeth and gums. 

The Importance of Pet Dental Care

As a pet parent, you want what’s best for your dog or cat.

Pets who don’t receive appropriate dental care are highly susceptible to periodontal disease. Dental treats help to a certain degree, but they are no substitute for professional exams and cleanings. Failure to bring your dog or cat in for routine dental care could lead to pain, bad breath, difficulty eating, excessive drooling, and other symptoms. 

As periodontal disease progresses, it often causes infections. In addition to being painful and potentially causing tooth loss, these infections can enter the bloodstream and travel throughout your pet’s body, damaging the heart, kidneys, and liver along the way. 

Pet Dental Care in Apex

When you bring your dog or cat to us for pet dental care in Apex, we will perform a comprehensive cleaning and examination while they are under general anesthesia. Our veterinarians use anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety, and they take every precaution to ensure pets are healthy enough to undergo the procedure before starting. 

We will take digital dental x-rays and carefully inspect your pet’s teeth above and below the gum line. We’ll all clean their teeth to remove plaque and tartar. If we find any serious problems, we may need to perform extractions, too. In any case, we always strive to make our dental services as safe and stress-free for our patients as possible. 

If your pet is due (or overdue) for professional care, we’d be more than happy to help. Contact us today to learn more or schedule an appointment.
