Dental Care

Imagine what would happen if you didn’t care for your teeth regularly. The same basics of dental care also apply to your pet's teeth.

Your pet's bad breath may be more serious than an aesthetic problem. Bad health may be a sign of bacteria attacking your pet's teeth and gums. It may indicate periodontal disease, one of the most common conditions affecting dogs and cats. Chronic infections can spread to the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys, where they can do more damage.

Here at Tuckahoe Animal Hospital we evaluate your companion's dental needs regularly. We will make appropriate cleaning and prophylaxis recommendations to help prevent the diseases associated with poor dental hygiene. We also advocate the use of barrier sealants to protect cleaned teeth and prolong the interval between cleanings.
