Benefits of Cat Dentistry

By proactively approaching your cat’s oral health, you can save them a lot of grief later. Having your cat seen routinely to check their mouth, gums, and teeth can promote a healthier life for your cat and contribute to their longevity. Some of the immediate benefits of cat dental care include:

Protecting cats from infections and dental conditions like periodontitis

Improving overall health and quality of life

Saving money by potentially avoiding more serious dental health problems

Mitigating bad breath

Preserving the health and function of your feline's teeth

Creating a Comfortable Environment

Coming to the veterinarian’s office can be scary for your kitty. Our office works diligently to foster a soothing environment so your cat can feel at ease when coming through our doors. We use soft tones when speaking with your pet to help keep them calm while performing examinations and building trust with them. Our warm demeanor is used to help gain your cat’s trust and allows us to prioritize your pet’s needs and comfort through the dental exam.

Our Process for Cat Dental Cleanings

When you choose our vet hospital for a cat dental cleaning, we start with a wellness exam and consultation to assess your kitty’s oral health. We’ll also offer any necessary tests, such as blood work, to verify that your cat is healthy enough for anesthesia. Then, our staff will anesthetize your cat for their comfort to perform the tooth and gum cleaning. Our staff will also perform x-rays to better understand your cat’s tooth health and look for any internal issues under the gums. If there is a need for a tooth extraction from decay or damage, our doctor will consult you before the procedure is done, leaving the agency for your cat’s care in your hands.

Cat Dentistry FAQs

Taking care of our pets isn’t always as straightforward as we hope. Our office can answer any questions you may have about our practice or cat dentistry, so feel free to reach out with any of your concerns and our staff will answer any questions you may have. Some questions that have been asked include:

How often should I have my cat's teeth cleaned?

Most cats do well with having one professional teeth cleaning a year. If your pet has had dental issues in the past, it may be beneficial to have cleanings done more frequently. We can assess the situation and give you more information during your cat’s exam.

What are some signs that my cat needs dental care?

Signs your pet may need dental care could include bad breath, loose or broken teeth, discolored teeth, and a reduced appetite. If you have concerns about your cat’s dental health, please contact our veterinarian. We can assess whether they require further care. It’s always best to address issues early before they become more serious.

How do I care for my cat's oral health at home?

There are a few ways to support your cat’s oral health at home between cleanings. You can do brief teeth brushings regularly, use products that support dental health (such as chews and treats), provide dry food at least once daily to help clean their teeth, and offer oral health toys. If you have questions about these types of products or need recommendations, we can offer assistance.

Does my cat need to be under anesthesia for the teeth cleaning?

For the safety of your kitty and our staff, we put cats under anesthesia for the length of their treatment. Our team thoroughly cleans your feline’s teeth and performs a comprehensive under the gumline examination to assess your cat’s overall oral health.
