Healthy Teeth, Happy Pets
Dental health plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall well-being. At Cy-Fair Animal Hospital in Addison, we know that dental disease can affect more than just your pet’s mouth—it can impact the heart, liver, kidneys, and overall health. Regular dental care helps keep your pet comfortable, healthy, and thriving for years to come.
Why Dental Care Matters
Did you know that roughly 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years old have some form of dental disease? Left untreated, dental problems can lead to pain, infection, and serious health issues. That’s why dental care is a key part of preventive wellness for every pet.
Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Check
Watch for warning signs such as:
- Brown or yellow buildup on teeth
- Persistent bad breath
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Pawing at the mouth or signs of oral discomfort
If you notice any of these symptoms, your pet may have dental disease and should be evaluated by our veterinary team.
Dental Care at Home
Brushing your pet’s teeth, offering dental chews, and performing regular at-home checks can help maintain healthy teeth and gums between professional visits.
Comprehensive Professional Dental Services
Our professional dental care provides the most effective protection against dental disease, including:
- Thorough ultrasonic cleanings above and below the gumline
- Digital dental X-rays to detect hidden issues
- Safe tooth extractions when necessary to relieve pain and prevent infection
Dental X-rays allow us to see problems that aren’t visible during a regular exam, ensuring complete and precise care. When extractions are required, our team prioritizes comfort, safety, and a smooth recovery for your pet.
