Veterinary Dental Care for Your Dog or Cat

Just like you, your dog or cat needs dental care.

The American Veterinary Dental Society estimates that more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3, with periodontal disease the most common ailment. Some pets live with pain that could be alleviated with proper care.

Here at Green Tree Animal Hospital, we offer preventive dentistry and perform dental extractions to help keep your pet healthy and happy.

Watch for Common Signs of Dental Disease

  • Yellow or brown buildup (tartar) on the teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Excessive drooling
  • Changes in eating or chewing habits
  • Pawing at the face
  • Loose teeth
  • Depression
Whether your cat or dog is showing these symptoms or not, you should have us evaluate your pet's dental health at least once a year.

Unchecked bacteria and food debris in the teeth can lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and the surrounding bone structure. Ultimately, decay can lead to periodontal disease, tooth loss, and even expensive oral surgery.

Prevent Mouth Bacteria From Harming Other Organs

As in humans, untreated dental disease can result in mouth bacteria getting in the bloodstream and damaging other organs.
  • Heart
  • Liver
  • Kidneys
  • Lungs
Untreated, these infections can kill.

Through a combination of physical examinations and lab work, we can determine if an infection in the mouth has spread to the rest of the body, so schedule your pet's dental checkup today!

We also can show you how to brush your pet's teeth and direct you to foods and treats that help fight plaque and tartar.

Green Tree: Upholding Pet’s Dental Hygiene is Our Responsibility

Dental issues such as gum and teeth diseases affect animals as much as they do to people. Ensuring good oral health is just as vital for your pet as it is for the members of your family. Our veterinary dentistry specialists are here to help you ensure proper dental hygiene for your animals. We understand that good oral hygiene can reduce bad breath, improve overall health, and reduce frequent pet illnesses. Your animal’s dental care is as important as anything else you do for them, and that’s why our dog dentist is devoted to upholding that.
 
No matter how much you love your pets, their breath can be unbearable at times. Most people may solve this by brushing pets’ teeth; however, bad breath may mean that your pet needs more than proper brushing. It can be a sign of gum infection, mostly referred to as a periodontal disease, which can result in serious health issues if not addressed early.

Dental services provided

At Green Tree Animal Hospital, we have a qualified dog and cat dentist who offers a wide array of oral services, including:
  • Pet teeth brushing
  • Treat gum infections
  • Professional teeth cleaning 
  • Filing
  • Extraction
  • Teeth repair
  • Regular preventive check-ups to avoid future oral problems

When to see a veterinary 

If you observe any of the following common signs of dental diseases, your pet will require immediate medical attention. 
  • Bad breath
  • Yellow or brown teeth
  • Bleeding
  • Swollen or red gums
  • Broken or loose teeth 
  • Drooling or changes in chewing habits. 

Your pet’s dental health matters

There is a positive correlation between dental health and overall body wellbeing. If neglected, dental problems can cause other health problems such as heart, kidney, and liver complications. 

At Green Tree Hospital, we have a solution for all these oral concerns. We are obsessed with making your pet healthier by maintaining its oral hygiene.

We are based at Lexington KY and Nicholasville KY.
