Dental Care

Healthier Teeth. Happier Pets. Longer Lives.

Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to maintain their overall health and comfort. At Cumberland Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive pet dental services to help prevent painful conditions like periodontal disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. Dental care isn’t just about fresh breath—it plays a critical role in your pet’s long-term wellness.

Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Disease

Dental disease is extremely common in pets, with most cats and dogs showing signs by age three. Unfortunately, it often goes unnoticed because pets are experts at hiding discomfort. Regular dental exams can catch problems early and prevent unnecessary pain.

Watch for These Common Symptoms:

• Bad breath
• Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
• Red or bleeding gums
• Loose or missing teeth
• Difficulty chewing or dropping food
• Excessive drooling
• Pawing at the mouth or face

Our Veterinary Dental Services

We offer professional dental cleanings and oral exams as part of our routine care. Under safe anesthesia, we clean above and below the gumline, remove plaque and tartar, polish the teeth, and perform any necessary extractions or treatments. This thorough approach helps protect your pet from infections that can impact the heart, kidneys, or liver.

Our Dental Care Services Include:

• Oral exams and charting
• Professional ultrasonic scaling and polishing
• Digital dental X-rays
• Extractions (if needed)
• At-home dental care guidance

Prevention Starts With a Smile

Routine dental care is one of the easiest ways to improve your pet’s quality of life and prevent costly medical issues down the road. Whether it’s your pet’s first cleaning or a return visit, we’re here to make it stress-free and safe.
