Dental hygiene for pets is often overlooked, but pets can experience many of the same dental issues as humans, including pain, infection, and tooth loss.
A routine examination of your pet’s teeth, gums, and oral cavity is very important for their overall health. We have state-of-the-art equipment at the hospital to diagnose and provide comprehensive care for your pet’s dental needs.
At Sanatoga Animal Hospital, we also utilize X-Ray technology to ensure your pet receives the highest level of medical care. We are committed to using advanced technology to better treat your pet.
We recommend that pets have periodic dental exams. The frequency of the dental exam depends on the animal's age:
| Puppies | Dental exams should be performed during the first puppy exam and at every appointment thereafter. |
| 1 - 3 Years | Annually, unless a dental problem occurs. |
| 4 Years and up | Every 6 months, unless a dental problem occurs. |
