A healthy smile is a key part of your pet’s overall wellness. Dental disease is more than just bad breath; it can cause real pain and serious health issues that affect your pet’s entire body, including their heart, liver, and kidneys. That’s why we offer full-service dental care for Pulaski’s dogs and cats, from routine teeth cleanings to surgical tooth extractions.
Just like people, pets benefit from regular dental cleanings to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and discomfort. Annual (or more frequent) cleanings help protect your pet’s health and keep their tail wagging with ease.
Our advanced digital dental X-rays allow us to see below the surface and identify problems you can’t spot with the naked eye. This gives us a more complete picture of your pet’s oral health and helps us plan the best course of action.
If a tooth is broken, infected, or causing pain, removing it may be the best choice. We handle both simple and surgical extractions with great care and follow it with pain control and guidance for a smooth, stress-free recovery.
It could. While mild odor is normal, bad breath can be a sign of dental disease or infection. If your pet’s breath makes you pull away, it’s time for a dental check.
Without anesthesia, we can’t safely clean below the gumline or take X-rays, which are key to spotting problems early. Anesthesia keeps your pet still, pain-free, and protected throughout the procedure.
Most pets benefit from annual cleanings, but some need them more frequently depending on age, breed, and dental history. We’ll let you know what’s best for your pet after their exam.
Pawing at the mouth, dropping food, chewing on one side, avoiding hard treats, or becoming irritable can all point to oral discomfort. Even subtle behavior changes may signal something’s wrong.
Yes! Brushing is the gold standard for home dental care. If brushing isn’t realistic for your pet, we can recommend effective alternatives like dental chews, diets, or water additives to help reduce plaque between cleanings.
