What Does Pet Dentistry Involve?

Proper dental care for your pet is important to prevent disease and ensures they are happy, healthy, and comfortable. But many people are unaware of exactly what pet dental care means. Essentially, veterinary dentistry involves similar services and treatments as human dentistry.

At Quakertown Veterinary Clinic, we handle all aspects of pet dentistry and dental health for cats and dogs, including but not limited to:

Proper dental care for your pet also involves at-home care. This includes things like brushing your pet’s teeth (if possible) and providing them with a healthy diet, which may include food that has been specially recommended for improving your pet’s oral health.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is the most common dental disease affecting both cats and dogs. In fact, statistics have revealed that up to 80% of cats and dogs exhibit signs of oral disease by age three.

Periodontal disease in animals is most commonly caused by poor dental hygiene. Additionally, it is more common in smaller dog breeds and certain breeds of cats, as there is typically less room in the mouth for teeth, which are then forced tightly together. Periodontal disease is also more common in aging and senior pets.

If you notice these or any other signs of oral disease, contact the Quakertown pet dentists at Quakertown Veterinary Clinic to make an appointment for veterinary dental services.

Pet Dental Care FAQs

Professional dental cleanings go beyond freshening breath—they remove harmful plaque and tartar to prevent periodontal disease. Since the mouth is a gateway for bacteria, poor oral hygiene can lead to systemic issues that affect organs and bloodwork. 

You’re not alone—many pet owners struggle with tooth brushing. Quakertown vets recommend healthy diets to help keep their teeth clean. Routine dental cleanings will also help keep you pet healthy and happy. 

Most pets don’t experience pain after dental cleanings. However, if your pet had a tooth extraction or surgery, they may experience some discomfort after. Our vets will provide recovery instructions like switching to soft food for about a week after extractions, and how to manage their pain via medication and other methods.
