pet dental care FAQs
Pet owners often have questions about dental cleanings, oral surgery, and how to keep their pet’s teeth healthy. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about dental care at Woodinville Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care in Woodinville.
How often should my pet have a dental cleaning?
Many pets benefit from professional dental cleanings annually, although some may require more frequent care depending on their breed, age, and oral health. Routine exams help determine the best schedule for your pet.
What are signs of dental disease in pets?
Common signs include bad breath, red or swollen gums, excessive drooling, difficulty eating, loose teeth, visible tartar buildup, and pawing at the mouth. Some pets may hide signs of oral discomfort until disease becomes advanced.
Why is anesthesia used during pet dental cleaning?
Anesthesia allows veterinarians to safely and thoroughly clean below the gumline, perform a complete oral examination, and obtain dental X-rays. This level of care is not possible with non-anesthetic dental cleanings.
Can dental disease affect my pet’s overall health?
Yes. Untreated dental disease can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and potentially affect major organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental care helps reduce these risks.
