Routine professional cleanings remove tartar, freshen breath, and help prevent periodontal disease. Regular dental care can also reduce the risk of heart, liver, and kidney problems linked to oral bacteria.
Many dental issues lie below the gumline where they can’t be seen. Digital dental radiographs help us evaluate roots, bone loss, and other hidden problems so we can make informed treatment decisions.
When a tooth is damaged or diseased beyond repair, extraction may be the best way to relieve pain and restore health. We perform oral surgery when needed and provide thorough aftercare to support healing.
Most pets benefit from annual professional cleanings, but some, especially small breeds or pets with existing dental issues, may need them more frequently. We’ll help you determine the right schedule for your pet.
Yes. Anesthesia allows us to clean below the gumline where plaque and bacteria hide, which can’t be done safely while your pet is awake. It also keeps your pet still and pain-free during the procedure.
Bad breath, red or bleeding gums, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, and yellow or brown buildup on the teeth can all indicate dental disease. If you notice any of these, we recommend you schedule a dental exam.
Absolutely. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets are all prone to dental issues, especially overgrown teeth or abscesses. We’re experienced in exotic pet dental care in Blacksburg and can evaluate and treat these species safely.
Brushing your pet’s teeth daily (or as often as possible) is the gold standard. We can also recommend dental chews, water additives, and diets that support oral health between cleanings.
