A clean mouth can change how your pet eats, plays, and even cuddles. At Dunbar Animal Hospital, dental cleanings are performed with care to remove buildup and reduce the risk of gum disease. Regular cleanings help your pet feel better from the inside out—because a healthy mouth brings comfort with every bite, bark, or gentle purr.
After scaling, polishing helps smooth the tooth surface, making it harder for plaque to return quickly. At Dunbar Animal Hospital, we include polishing in our dental care to support long-term oral health. This simple but important step adds shine to your pet’s teeth while helping protect them from discomfort. A bright smile begins with thoughtful details like this.
Tartar build-up can hide under the gumline and quietly harm your pet’s dental health. At Dunbar Animal Hospital, scaling is performed under anesthesia for safety and comfort, removing plaque from above and below the gumline. This thorough cleaning helps prevent tooth loss and infection—giving your pet a fresh start, one clean tooth at a time.
Preventive dental care can make a lasting difference. At Dunbar Animal Hospital, a dental prophylactic includes a complete oral exam, cleaning, and evaluation to help stop problems before they begin. It’s about more than teeth—it’s about supporting your pet’s overall wellness and daily comfort. Prevention now means fewer complications and a healthier, happier future.
Not all dental issues are visible on the surface. At Dunbar Animal Hospital, dental X-rays help us see beneath the gumline, where many problems hide. This tool allows us to identify infections, root issues, or bone changes before they cause pain. It’s a deeper look that gives your pet a better chance at lasting oral health.
