Dentistry

Periodontal disease is the most common disease of dogs and cats.  Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery.  Daily brushing or other dental recommendations will help decrease periodontal disease.  Don't let your pets teeth get to a Grade 2,3, or 4.  You want to maintain them and then your pet will be healthier and will cost you less money.  Dental disease can have deterimental effects on the heart and kidneys as well.  Please view the Pet Library searching Dental for some very good articles.
