Veterinary Dentistry
Proper dental care is essential to your pet’s overall health.
At Lakeside Pet Hospital, we provide gentle dental cleanings, oral exams, and treatment for dental disease to help prevent pain, infection, and long-term health issues.
Our team focuses on keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy—so they can eat comfortably, stay active, and enjoy a better quality of life.
Pet Dental Health Matters
Dental health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. Just like people, pets require regular dental care to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and chronic oral discomfort. However, pets often hide pain, making dental problems easy to miss without routine checkups.
When dental disease goes untreated, it can lead to serious and lasting health issues, including:
-
Tooth loss
-
Painful gum infections and abscesses
-
Difficulty eating and behavioral changes
-
Increased risk to the heart, kidneys, and liver
At Lakeside Pet Hospital, our experienced veterinary team combines advanced diagnostic technology with gentle, carefully monitored anesthesia to provide safe, effective, and stress-free dental care.
