Why Pet Dentistry is Important
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. It may also affect vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental care can help prevent these complications and keep your pet comfortable.
Comprehensive Dental Care Services
At Del Norte Animal Clinic, we offer a full range of pet dentistry services in Albuquerque, NM, including:
- Dental Exams: We assess your pet’s oral health during their annual exam.
- Dog Dental Cleanings: We perform thorough cleanings under anesthesia to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
- Digital Dental X-Rays: We capture detailed images to identify hidden issues beneath the gumline.
- Tooth Extractions: We address damaged or infected teeth to relieve pain and prevent further problems.
- Post-Procedure Care: We prescribe antibiotics or pain medications if your pet’s recovery needs them.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
Regular exams are vital, but certain signs indicate your pet may need a dental cleaning soon:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Discolored teeth or visible tartar buildup
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Pawing at the mouth or other signs of oral discomfort
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us to book an evaluation.
