Oral health is a large part of your pet’s overall health.
Good Shepherd Veterinary Hospital provides a range of dentistry services for your pet including cleaning, polishing, checking for polyps, broken tooth extraction, dental x-rays and anesthesia. If your dog needs a root canal, we do that too. Oral tumors are removed through our soft tissue surgery.
We check dogs and cats for signs of dental and oral disease like halitosis (bad breath), loose teeth, discolored teeth, excessive drooling not typical of your breed, abnormal dropping of food, swollen tissue, or if your pet is avoiding contact with their mouth. Our team advises on at home oral care through dental products, treats and diets. Regular brushing at home can reduce the number of visits for dental care.
