Oral health is as important in animals as it is in humans. Dental diseases can cause serious problems for your pet, from gum inflammation and tooth loss to infection and even organ damage.
Dental diseases are one of the most common diseases in dogs and cats. Dog owners often notice bad breath, and cat owners seek veterinary help for their pets due to drooling and difficulty chewing and swallowing.
Our clinic provides complete dental treatment services for your pets, starting with preventive dental examinations once or twice a year. A detailed dental examination is performed under general inhalation anaesthesia and before each anaesthesia, our veterinarians carefully and caringly prepare the patient and explain the procedure to the owner in detail.
During the dental examination, the veterinarian carefully examines your pet’s teeth for fractures, cavities, excessive wear, and other irregularities. The condition of the gums is also checked in order to detect possible periodontal diseases in time.
Dental X-rays allow us detailed evaluations and help make decisions about tooth extraction and treatment of periodontal diseases. Depending on the severity of dental problems, dental treatment can range from ultrasound tartar removal to surgical tooth extraction and removal of formations in the oral cavity.
Last but not least, as part of our dental service, we educate the owners about maintaining the health of the oral cavity because prevention is better than cure.
Dental X-ray
Our clinic offers dental radiology services as part of comprehensive dental care for your pets.
Anaesthesia is required for X-ray imaging. Anaesthesia is necessary to keep your pet calm and so that we can get the most accurate images. This is the only way to detect any dental problems and ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. With dental X-ray, veterinarians can see below the gum line, which allows them to detect the sites of infection below the root of the tooth, the extent of periodontal bone loss, and the presence of bone tumours or cysts.
A small X-ray film or dental X-ray sensor is placed in the pet’s mouth, while a mobile dental X-ray machine adapts to project X-rays through the tooth and jaw onto a plate. The resulting image is used to diagnose and determine the next steps in the dental treatment of your pets.
