Dentistry & Periodontal Surgery
At Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital, we understand the importance of oral health and the practice of Pet Dentistry.
Dentistry
Research shows that pets with healthy mouths live longer and have less health issues than pets with dental disease.
Our Veterinary Dentistry Services Include the following:
Polishing of teeth
Application of sealants
Scaling for removal of tarter
Perioceutic (antibiotic) treatments for pockets in the gums
Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal disease is the number one problem diagnosed in small animal patients today.
When assessing the hygiene of your pets mouth, our doctors use advanced medicine to ensure proper diagnosis. Digital dental radiographs are obtained for patients who have abnormalities on visual exams. Full mouth radiographs may also be taken, especially in cats, due to the inability to view root/periodontal disease during a physical examination.
If Periodontal Surgery is required, the operation is performed with your pet under general anesthesia. Our doctors are trained in advanced medicine and have decades of experience in oral surgery and emergency medicine. We perform everything from the removal of deciduous teeth, to the removal and biopsies of oral masses, to surgical fixation of oral trauma or fractures, to full mouth extractions.
