When you're in need of dental care for your pet, and you're in the Cypress, CA, area, we at Lincoln Animal Hospital are here to help. We want to make sure your pet is getting proper dental care, vaccinations, and other treatments that he needs so he can be happy and healthy for the long term. Recognizing the importance of caring for your pet's teeth and gums matters because it's an area that can cause serious harm to your pet’s health if neglected.
Why Do Pets Need Dental Care?
Just like people, pets have teeth and gums that can become damaged and that can be prone to decay, infection, and other problems. Because pets don't brush their teeth, they need good pet dental care. That can involve treats and toys that help remove plaque buildup from their teeth, and it also includes seeing a veterinarian for routine dental exams to monitor your pet's dental health.
How Is Pet Dental Care Performed?
Pet dental care is generally performed under sedation, to help your pet stay comfortable and keep him still during the procedure. If your pet needs his teeth cleaned, a tooth pulled, or treatment for issues like an infection or gum disease, a veterinarian on our team will sedate him, take care of the dental issues he is facing, and then give you important information on how to take the best care of him as he heals from any procedures he has had.
Can an Animal Hospital Help?
Working with an animal hospital can be the right choice for your pet's dental care. Even if you brush your pet's teeth at home or give him chews or other items that are designed to keep his teeth and gums healthy, it is recommended to have your fur baby's dental health routinely examined by a veterinarian. Routine dental exams can catch potential issues before they arise, or prevent them from getting worse. The best way to keep your pet's teeth healthy and clean is to have routine anesthetic dental cleanings to remove the hard to see tartar that stays hidden below the gumline.
