Regular
dental care from Trinity Pet Hospital is key to your pet enjoying
good oral health. Oral care plays an important role in your
pet’s overall health and wellness. Healthy teeth and gums can
improve your pet’s quality of life from babyhood through his senior
years.
What Qualifies as Pet Dental Care?
At
Trinity Pet Hospital, we encourage pet owners to bring their pup or
kit in for annual dental exams. During a dental exam, your
veterinarian in Laguna Hills can detect such problems as broken
teeth, abscesses, periodontal disease, tartar buildup, cavities and
more. Treating these problems in their early stages can save your pet
pain and suffering later down the line. In addition to dental
exams, our dental care program includes:
Professional
teeth cleaning – We remove plaque and tartar and polish your pet’s
teeth.
Tooth
extractions – We remove damaged, infected teeth to protect your
pet’s health.
Cavity
filling – we fill cavities in your pet’s teeth to restore their
usefulness.
Preventative
care consulting services – We’ll educate you on caring for your
pet’s teeth to reduce dental issues and pet dentistry bills.
Pet
dental procedures at our animal hospital are performed under
anesthesia for the protection and safety of your pet. This enables
our veterinary specialist to do a thorough job without worrying about
your pet moving about or suffering pain.
Symptoms of Dental Problems and Diseases
Dogs
and cats often display signs to show they’re suffering from a
dental problem or disease. By recognizing these symptoms, you’ll
know your pet needs dental care. As dental problems can escalate
quickly, don’t hesitate to call our veterinary expert or visit our
animal clinic if you suspect your pup or kit needs dental care. The
following signs could indicate your pet needs dental treatment:
Bad
breath – Bad breath could be a symptom of tooth infection or decay.
If horrible breath is keeping you from bonding with your pup or
kit, take him in for a dental checkup.
Bleeding
gums – If your pet’s gums are inflamed and bleeding, see your
vet.
Discolored
teeth – Healthy teeth are white and shiny. Discolored or spotty
teeth are signs of plaque or tartar buildup. Schedule a cleaning with
your vet.
Loose
or cracked teeth – If your pet suddenly loses his appetite, has
trouble chewing or spits his food back out, he could be suffering
pain from a loose or cracked tooth. Take him to our animal clinic for
a checkup right away.

"Wow! Thanks to all the staff at Anderson Vet Clinic. I feel like you all truly love what you do! My kitty, Lola and I always have such a pleasant experience when we come in. Fortunately, it’s usually just for a check-up, but I would not leave Lola in anyone else’s hands but yours. Thank you for your caring commitment!"
