Dental Care in Oakland Gardens, Queens
Professional dental cleanings and oral health assessments to protect your pet from painful, preventable disease.
Dental disease is one of the most common — and most overlooked — health problems in dogs and cats, and it's almost entirely preventable. Left untreated, it causes pain, tooth loss and infection that can affect the heart, liver and kidneys.
A professional dental cleaning removes the plaque and tartar brushing can't reach, above and below the gumline. We assess each tooth, take dental X-rays where needed to catch hidden problems, and show you how to keep your pet's smile healthy at home.
What to expect
A dental visit starts with an oral exam. Under safe anesthesia we clean above and below the gumline, take dental X-rays where needed to find hidden problems, and address any diseased teeth. You'll go home knowing exactly how to keep your pet's mouth healthy between visits.
Common questions
- Why does a dental cleaning need anesthesia?
- Anesthesia lets us clean thoroughly below the gumline (where disease hides), take X-rays and treat painful teeth safely and without stress — things that simply aren't possible on an awake pet.
- How do I know if my pet has dental disease?
- Bad breath, yellow or brown tartar, red or bleeding gums, drooling or reluctance to eat are common signs. Because pets hide pain well, a professional exam is the best way to know for sure.
