The Benefits of Veterinary Dental Care for Dogs & Cats

Healthy Teeth, Happy Pets: Why Dental Care Matters

When it comes to your pet’s well-being, oral health is often overlooked—but it’s just as important as their diet or vaccines. At Neighborhood Pet Hospital, we provide expert veterinary dental care for pets to prevent disease, reduce pain, and improve overall health.

🪥 What Is Veterinary Dental Care for Pets?

Veterinary dental care includes professional teeth cleaning, polishing, X-rays, and the treatment of dental diseases such as:

  • Plaque and tartar buildup

  • Gingivitis and periodontal disease

  • Broken or infected teeth

  • Oral tumors or cysts

These services are performed under anesthesia for a thorough and stress-free experience.

🩺 Why Dental Health Is Crucial for Dogs & Cats

Without routine care, pets can develop periodontal disease, which may lead to tooth loss, infection, and even organ damage.

Veterinary dental care for pets offers these long-term benefits:

  • Fresher breath

  • Healthier gums and teeth

  • Pain-free eating

  • Protection against kidney, liver, and heart disease

Just like in humans, early detection is key.

🐾 Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Checkup

  • Bad breath

  • Drooling or pawing at the mouth

  • Difficulty eating or chewing

  • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth

  • Swollen or bleeding gums

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a dental exam at NPH Richmond TX.
