At McKean Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to helping your pets reach optimal health which includes good oral health.
Our veterinary team has extensive training and experience caring for different types of animals. As such, we can provide dental cleanings and specialized treatments for dogs, cats, rodents, and rabbits. From routine dental cleanings to more involved oral surgery, we are here to support the total health of your pet.
Oral health is very closely tied to your pet’s health. We offer in-house dental cleanings and procedures. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums prevents local and internal infection, oral pain and lack of appetite. A pet with a healthy oral cavity will live a happier, healthier and, most often, longer life.
You already know how important it is for humans to maintain proper dental hygiene and to visit a dentist regularly. Your teeth and gums play a big factor in how you eat, communicate, and feel. Animals have much of the same needs when it comes to their teeth and gums.
Procedures like regular animal, dog, or cat dental cleanings allow you to keep track of your pet’s health. Gums and teeth are the breeding grounds of bacteria, which causes tooth decay. If left unchecked, these problems can lead to cavities and gum disease, which can make your pet miserable, and even influence other health conditions.
Animal dental care should be part of your pet’s regular health care regimen. Not only does it allow your pet to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Routine screenings can also provide early notice of serious health conditions, like abscesses, cancers, and pet-specific illnesses. By paying attention to your pet’s oral health, you give them the opportunity to improve their quality of life.
