During your visit to our Vancouver Animal Hospital in Killarney, our veterinarians conduct thorough oral exams. This helps us detect early signs of gum disease or infection, ensuring your pet's comfort and well-being.
With the information gathered from these diagnostic tests, our veterinarians can tailor treatment plans to address your pet's specific needs, leading to more informed and effective care to improve your pet's overall health and well-being.
A complete dental exam should be performed on all pets at least once a year. For smaller breeds more prone to periodontal disease, these exams should be done every 6 months. If dental calculus is present at the gumline, the veterinarian should professionally clean the teeth. Because this cleaning can be a painful procedure, especially if periodontal disease already exists, a short-acting sedative or anesthetic is essential for your pet’s comfort and safety. An ultrasonic dental scaler, combined with manual scaling instruments is used to break apart and remove the hard calculus and deposits from the tooth surfaces. Afterward, the teeth are polished with a special paste to restore their natural smooth surfaces. Remember: Good dental hygiene is important to the health of your pet. In fact, it can help it live a longer, happier life. If you have any questions concerning your pet’s dental health, don’t hesitate to consult our veterinarian.
