Dental care is one of the most important parts of your pet's preventive healthcare plan. Clean teeth and a healthy mouth do more than just prevent bad breath - proper dental care is essential in preventing periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, caused by the build-up of bacteria and plaque on your pet's teeth and gums, results in bleeding and severe inflammation of the gums, gum recession, alveolar bone loss and tooth mobility. As the disease progresses, the bacteria can travel through the blood and damage the heart, liver and kidneys. Regular dental cleanings can prevent the spread of periodontal disease and keep your pet healthy.
Webster Groves Animal Hospital utilizes state-of-the-art veterinary dental equipment to thoroughly clean your pet's teeth. We offer dental radiology in order to accurately determine the best treatment for your pet's teeth. In addition, we offer periodontal treatments using Doxirobe gel, and dental sealant treatments using OraVet, to keep your pet's teeth clean and prevent the spread of periodontal disease. If your pet's teeth are damaged, we can restore and repair teeth using light-cured composite fillings, similar to those used in human dentistry.
