Dental Difference

The prevention and early detection of disease gives us the opportunity to significantly improve your pet’s quality of life and longevity. This is especially true with periodontal disease, which has been recognized as the most common health problem in pets.

In many instances, the changes associated with dental disease go unnoticed – pets may continue to eat and chew normally while coping with an underlying dental problem.

Professional dental cleaning needs to be performed before there is a visible problem. Undetected plaque and tartar below the gum line can cause gum disease, tooth and bone loss along with infection in the jaw, heart and kidneys. Regular professional cleanings in young animals will remove this undetected plaque and tartar and can prevent serious health problems from occurring.

In recognition of the importance of oral health’s contribution to overall health, Colby Village Veterinary Hospital has developed an oral health program that includes a professional dental cleaning. By performing this preventive procedure on a regular basis, future expensive and painful dental surgery can often be avoided.

Professional dental cleanings in young animals often take considerably less time than in older animals, and as a result we can use shorter acting anesthetics. This leads to less overall pain, better oral hygiene including a reduction in “Doggy/Kitty Breath”, a healthier pet and a reduced cost for the procedure.
