Comprehensive Dental Care for Pets
Keep Your Dog or Cat’s Teeth Healthy
Why Your Pet’s Dental Health Matters
Did you know that over 80% of dogs and cats develop dental disease by age three? Many pet owners overlook oral health, but it plays a critical role in your pet’s overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and even serious health issues affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver.
At Simon Veterinary Surgical (SVS), we provide comprehensive dental care for pets, ensuring your dog or cat’s teeth and gums stay clean, healthy, and strong. Our veterinary dental services go beyond basic cleanings—we use advanced diagnostics, pain-free treatments, and preventive care plans tailored to your pet’s needs.

🐶 Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
Your pet can’t tell you when they have tooth pain, so it’s important to watch for signs of dental disease. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a professional veterinary dental exam:
✔ Bad breath (halitosis) – Persistent foul-smelling breath can indicate bacterial infection or gum disease.
✔ Difficulty eating or chewing – If your pet avoids hard food, chews on one side, or drops food, they may be in pain.
✔ Red, swollen, or bleeding gums – A sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
✔ Yellow or brown tartar buildup – Hardened plaque can cause gum irritation and infection.
✔ Loose, broken, or missing teeth – Often a sign of advanced dental disease requiring treatment.
✔ Excessive drooling – Can indicate oral discomfort or infection.
✔ Facial swelling or pawing at the mouth – A sign of pain, abscesses, or oral tumors.
🦷 Ignoring dental problems can lead to serious health complications. Early detection and routine dental cleanings can prevent infections, pain, and costly procedures down the line.
🔍 What’s Included in a Pet Dental Appointment?
At Simon Veterinary Surgical, we offer more than just a routine cleaning—our comprehensive dental services ensure your pet’s entire mouth is examined and treated. Here’s what to expect:
1️⃣ Comprehensive Oral Examination
Before cleaning, our veterinarians perform a full oral health assessment, checking for tartar buildup, gum disease, loose teeth, infections, and oral tumors.
2️⃣ Digital Dental X-Rays
Many serious dental issues occur below the gumline, where they aren’t visible. X-rays help detect hidden problems like tooth root infections, fractures, and bone loss.
3️⃣ Ultrasonic Cleaning & Polishing
We use advanced ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar both above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to reduce future buildup.
4️⃣ Extractions & Advanced Treatments (If Needed)
For severe cases of decay, abscesses, or fractured teeth, we perform safe and pain-free extractions. We also provide gum treatments and oral surgeries when necessary.
5️⃣ Personalized Home Care Plan
After the procedure, we provide customized dental care recommendations, including brushing techniques, dietary changes, and recommended products.
📌 We ensure your pet receives the highest level of care, comfort, and safety throughout their dental procedure.

🏡 At-Home Dental Care Tips for Pet Owners
While professional cleanings are essential, daily home care plays a crucial role in keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy. Here are some tips:
✅ Brush Your Pet’s Teeth Daily – Use a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste to remove plaque before it hardens into tartar.
✅ Dental Chews & Toys – Choose vet-approved dental chews that help scrape away plaque and massage gums.
✅ Water Additives & Oral Rinses – Add a safe dental rinse to your pet’s water to reduce bacteria and freshen breath.
✅ Monitor Their Diet – High-quality pet food with balanced nutrients can support strong teeth and gums.
✅ Schedule Regular Vet Checkups – Even with at-home care, your pet still needs annual dental exams for professional cleanings.
🚨 Remember: Once plaque hardens into tartar, brushing alone won’t remove it—professional cleanings are necessary to prevent gum disease and tooth loss.
