Why Dog Dental Care Matters
Dental health is often overlooked, but it's as vital for dogs as it is for humans. Poor dental hygiene can lead to a range of issues, from bad breath and gum disease to more severe conditions like tooth loss and systemic infections. Regular dental care helps prevent these problems and ensures your dog remains comfortable and healthy.
Services We Offer
At Keysborough Veterinary Practice, we provide a full spectrum of dental services to address your dog's specific needs:
- Routine Dental Check-Ups: Regular examinations allow us to monitor your dog's dental health, identifying potential issues before they become serious problems.
- Professional Cleanings: Our dental cleanings involve thorough scaling and polishing to remove tartar and plaque buildup, which helps prevent gum disease and other dental issues.
- Dental X-Rays: We use advanced imaging technology to assess the health of your dog's teeth and roots, allowing us to detect underlying problems that might not be visible during a standard examination.
