Preventative Care

Preventative care is one of the most important ways to love and care for your pets health. Your pets teeth are just as important to them, as yours are to you!

ALL ANESTHESIA-FREE DENTALS ARE PERFORMED WITH A VET-PRESENT!!!

Just like us, pets can have complications due to poor oral hygiene such as:

• Periodontal (gum) disease
• Heart disease
• Liver and Kidney problems

Actions for preventative care

Brush your pets teeth
Ideally you should brush your pets’ teeth at home daily as you would your own, however, DO NOT USE HUMAN TOOTHPASTE...it can be toxic to your pet. (There are flavored toothpaste that make brushing more pleasent) Brush at an angle in small circles. It is easiest to start in the back and move to the front.

Routine Cleanings
All pets should have their teeth cleaned at least every 6 months. Some large dogs can go 1 year between cleanings but every 6 months is usually best for them too. This will help prevent the build up of bacteria that causes periodontal disease that can lead to tooth loss and other major health problems.

Maintenance Program
To provide the best possible care for your pets teeth Canine Dental Service offers an affordable maintenance program you may want to consider. The maintenance program is a complete re-cleaning and polishing of the teeth every month. This program is especially helpful for those who understandably find it next to impossible to brush their pets’ teeth at home. A thorough cleaning once a month is much better than leaving the teeth dirty for longer periods. We will brush your pets teeth, as often as you like, for FREE; just bring your pet to one of our regularly scheduled clinics. If you cannot brush your pets teeth at least every other day you should seriously consider this affordable program.
