Pet Dental Care

Our Dental Services

Dental health plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall well-being, yet it’s often overlooked until visible problems arise. At Lefferts Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive veterinary dental care to prevent dental disease and support your pet’s long-term health. Did you know that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age three? Left untreated, these conditions can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even affect major organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Signs and Prevention

Common signs of dental disease include bad breath, discolored teeth, difficulty eating, and excessive drooling. While brushing, dental chews, and regular visual inspections at home help, they can’t reach plaque and tartar beneath the gumline. That’s why professional cleanings are so important.

Professional Dental Care

Our dental cleanings include a full oral exam, scaling to remove plaque and tartar, and polishing to prevent future buildup. We use advanced tools and monitor your pet carefully under anesthesia to ensure their safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

Ongoing Oral Health

After the cleaning, we’ll help you create a dental care routine tailored to your pet’s needs, including home brushing tips, recommended dental diets, and follow-up plans to maintain oral health.
