Advanced dentistry for dogs and cats.

A small, rough-edged heart shape, filled with a solid purple color, has a hand-drawn, somewhat uneven appearance against a white background—much like the compassionate touch of a dedicated vet.

Imagine what your mouth would feel like if you never brushed your teeth or went to the dentist. For many dogs and cats, this is a painful reality. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental (or periodontal) disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets.

A calico cat wearing a purple collar eats from a dish placed on a cobblestone path outdoors. Bright pink flowers and green foliage are visible in the background. The cat, possibly just back from the vet, has white, black, and orange patches on its fur.

Common signs of dental disease include:

  • Yellow or brown buildup (tartar) on the teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Excessive drooling
  • Changes in eating or chewing habits
  • Pawing at the face
  • Loose teeth
  • Depression

A black and white French Bulldog is peering over a table at a bowl of biscuits. On the table next to the bowl is a cup of coffee, a notepad, and a pen. The dog looks curious and interested in the biscuits, perhaps wondering if they meet veterinarian-approved standards.

Even if your dog or cat doesn’t have these symptoms, we recommend that you have a veterinarian evaluate your pet’s dental health at least once a year. Bacteria and food debris accumulate around the teeth and, if left unchecked, will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. This decay can result in irreversible periodontal disease, tooth loss, and possibly expensive oral surgery.

A black and white cat with bright green eyes licks its lips while looking at a treat held by a person's hand. The background is plain white, making the cat and the treat the focal points of the image, reminiscent of a scene from a visit to the veterinarian's office.

Dental disease can also affect other organs in the body: Bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. If these problems aren’t caught and treated quickly enough, they can result in death. A physical exam combined with appropriate laboratory work can determine if infection in the mouth has spread.
