Our pet dental care services are tailored to address all aspects of dental health, including:

1. Comprehensive Oral Examination:
Our expert veterinarians perform thorough oral examinations during routine check-ups to evaluate the condition of your pet’s teeth and gums. This includes checking for signs of:

Plaque and tartar buildup
Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
Tooth decay or fractures
Oral tumors or cysts
Periodontal disease, a leading cause of tooth loss

2. Professional Teeth Cleaning:
We use advanced techniques to perform dental scaling and polishing under safe anesthesia. This process includes:

Ultrasonic scaling to remove hard plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and below the gumline.
Polishing to smooth the teeth, reducing future plaque buildup.
Fluoride treatments to strengthen the enamel and reduce the risk of decay.

3. Dental X-Rays (Radiographs):
Many dental issues are not visible during a regular oral examination. We utilize digital dental X-rays to examine below the gumline, identifying hidden problems such as:

Root infections
Bone loss
Abscesses
Fractures
This advanced imaging allows for early detection of dental problems, ensuring that your pet receives timely treatment before the issue worsens.

4. Extractions and Advanced Treatments:
If your pet has damaged, loose, or infected teeth, we perform tooth extractions to prevent pain and further complications. Our clinic is also equipped to handle more complex dental procedures, such as:

Root canal therapy
Surgical removal of oral tumors
Treatment for oral trauma

5. Prevention of Dental Disease:
At Afdal Veterinary Clinic, we focus on preventative dental care to stop dental diseases before they start. This includes regular professional cleanings and guidance on at-home dental care. Our veterinarians will advise you on:

Brushing your pet’s teeth using pet-safe toothpaste and toothbrushes.
The use of dental chews, toys, and specialized diets designed to reduce plaque buildup.
Regular monitoring for any signs of dental discomfort, such as bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, or pawing at the mouth.

6. Customized Dental Care Plans:
Every pet is different, and so are their dental needs. Our team will create a personalized dental care plan for your pet, taking into consideration their breed, age, and existing health conditions. Breeds such as small dogs, cats, and those with flat faces (brachycephalic breeds) often require more frequent dental attention due to their susceptibility to dental problems.
