Optimal oral health for pets, compassionate dental care.

Your pet’s oral health affects far more than their breath.

Plaque, tartar, inflamed gums, damaged teeth, and other dental problems can cause pain and make eating uncomfortable. At Alburtis Animal Hospital, we provide pet dental care in Alburtis to help dogs and cats maintain healthier mouths. Regular dental evaluations allow our veterinarians to identify problems, recommend appropriate treatment, and help you care for your pet’s teeth between visits.

Professional Veterinary Dental Care

A veterinary dental evaluation begins with a careful examination of your pet’s mouth to check the teeth and gums for signs of dental disease, damage, infection, or discomfort.

Dental Examination

We evaluate your pet’s teeth and gums and look for visible signs of plaque buildup, dental disease, damaged teeth, infection, or oral discomfort.

Professional Dental Care

If treatment is needed, we will explain our findings and recommendations. Dental care may include removing plaque and tartar and addressing diseased or damaged teeth when necessary.

At-Home Dental Support

Your pet’s dental visit is also a good time to discuss home care. Regular brushing can help slow plaque buildup, and our team can suggest practical alternatives based on your pet’s temperament and needs.

Watch for Changes Between Dental Visits

You spend more time with your pet than anyone else, which puts you in a good position to notice changes. Pay attention to how your pet eats and chews. A sudden preference for softer foods, difficulty picking up treats, reduced interest in chew toys, or a change in appetite may point to oral discomfort. You can also periodically look at your pet’s teeth and gums if they comfortably allow it.

If you notice a broken tooth, facial swelling, bleeding, significant bad breath, or another concerning change, contact us rather than waiting until the next routine wellness visit.

Why Dental Health Matters for Dogs and Cats

Dental disease often develops gradually, which means you may not realize your pet has a problem until it becomes severe. Dogs and cats also tend to hide discomfort, and many continue eating even when their mouths hurt.
Signs that may indicate a dental problem include:
Persistent bad breath
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Visible plaque or tartar
Loose, broken, or discolored teeth
Dropping food while eating
Chewing on one side of the mouth
Pawing at the face or mouth
Excessive drooling
Reluctance to eat hard food
Swelling around the mouth or face
Do not wait for obvious symptoms before thinking about your pet’s oral health. Routine veterinary exams allow us to check your pet’s mouth and identify changes that may need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bad breath, tartar buildup, red or bleeding gums, difficulty chewing, loose teeth, excessive drooling, and changes in eating habits can indicate a problem. Some pets show few obvious symptoms, which is why routine oral exams are so important.
