Dental Services for Pets at Edmonds Veterinary Hospital

Comprehensive Dental Services for Pets

Good oral health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions in cats and dogs, and when left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, and even organ damage. At Edmonds Veterinary Hospital, we provide complete dental services for pets using advanced technology and modern techniques to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free.

Our Dental Services

Our hospital is equipped to handle a wide range of dental procedures, from routine cleanings to more advanced care. Every dental patient receives:

  • Comprehensive Pain Control
    We take your pet’s comfort seriously. Pain management may include dental nerve blocks, cold laser therapy, injectable medication, or oral medication as needed.

  • Complete Oral Exam
    Each dental procedure begins with a thorough examination of your pet’s teeth, gums, and oral cavity.

  • Ultrasonic Prophylaxis
    Professional cleaning removes tartar and plaque buildup, helping to prevent periodontal disease.

  • Polish and Fluoride Treatment
    Polishing smooths the tooth surface, while fluoride helps strengthen enamel and protect against decay.

  • Dental Digital X-Rays
    Digital imaging allows us to see below the gumline, where many painful dental problems are hidden.

Advanced Safety and Monitoring

Your pet’s safety during anesthesia is always our top priority. We utilize state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and protocols throughout every dental procedure:

  • Heated Surgical Beds: Keep your pet’s body temperature stable while under anesthesia.

  • IV Catheter & Fluid Support: Maintains healthy blood pressure and ensures immediate access in case of complications.

  • Intubation: Protects the airway and delivers oxygen and anesthetic gases as needed.

  • Pulse Oximeter: Monitors oxygen levels in the blood.

  • ECG Monitoring: Tracks heart rate and rhythm.

  • Continuous Temperature Monitoring: Alerts the veterinarian if your pet’s temperature becomes too high or too low.

  • Blood Pressure Monitoring: Helps detect signs of shock or blood pressure changes early.

Why Dental Health Matters

Regular dental care is essential to preventing periodontal disease, bad breath, and oral pain in pets. By scheduling routine dental check-ups and cleanings, you’re not only protecting your pet’s teeth and gums but also supporting their overall health and longevity.
