Preventative Pet Dental Care & Treatment in Quakertown, PA
Just like humans, animals need quality dental care to ward off disease and ensure good oral health. It’s important to not only provide your pet with proper at-home dental care but also to schedule regular professional veterinary dentistry services for your pet as part of his or her overall wellness plan.
At Quakertown Veterinary Clinic, we provide comprehensive pet dental care. We offer both preventative dental services and disease treatment.

What Does Veterinary Dentistry Involve?
Proper dental care is important to prevent disease and ensure that your pet is 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.
- Oral examinations
- Teeth cleaning (includes scaling of plaque/tartar and polishing)
- Tooth extraction
- Dental x-rays
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.
- Significantly bad breath
- Discolored teeth (yellow/brown)
- Tooth loss
- Bleeding gums
- Excessive drooling
- Change in eating habits
- Seeming unwillingness to chew food
