Dental Disease in Pets
Also called periodontal disease
Dental disease is usually silent. When it begins, there are no visible signs or symptoms. However, as it progresses, it can devastate your pet's mouth: chronic pain, eroded gums, missing teeth, and bone loss.
The disease affects the areas around the teeth: gums, soft tissues, and even the jawbone. It is a bacterial infection that progresses through four stages:
Stage 1: Gingivitis
Bad breath, tartar buildup, and slight redness of the gums. This is the best time to intervene.
Stage 2: Early Periodontal Disease
More pronounced bad breath, more discolored teeth with tartar buildup, and redness of the gums.
Stage 3: Moderate Periodontal Disease
Very bad breath, significant tartar buildup especially on molars, very red gums. The animal may chew on one side only.
Stage 4: Advanced Periodontal Disease
Severe halitosis and obvious signs of pain: reluctance to have their head touched or dropping kibble while chewing.
Gum disease is five times more common in pets than in humans, due to the chemical composition of their saliva. Their more alkaline mouths accelerate plaque formation.
Signs to Watch For
Your pet cannot tell you they are in pain. Look out for these warning signs:
Inflammation or redness of the gums
Persistent bad breath
Discolored teeth or tartar buildup
Excessive drooling or blood in saliva
Loss of appetite or weight loss
Difficulty chewing or eating
Loose or broken teeth
Reluctance to open mouth
Lethargy, decreased interaction
Jaw fracture (advanced stage)
Risks to Overall Health
Untreated dental disease can reach vital organs through the bloodstream:
Heart disease
Kidney disease
Liver problems
Why Are Pets So Vulnerable?
Bacteria are the primary cause of periodontal disease. The most common are Actinomyces and Streptococcus. As soon as your pet eats, they break down food and saliva to form a thick film on the teeth called plaque.
Plaque can combine with minerals in saliva to form tartar, which adheres firmly to teeth and can only be removed by a professional.
In response to bacteria, the immune system sends white blood cells that release enzymes gradually degrading the gums, soft tissues, and bones.
Dogs' and cats' mouths are more alkaline than humans', which accelerates plaque formation. This is why regular dental care is essential.
What Is Included in Our Dental Treatment Plan
A complete veterinary dental procedure involves much more than a simple cleaning. Each element has been chosen to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the care.
Complete Pre-operative Examination
Detailed physical exam before any procedure: heart, lungs, temperature, and lymph nodes. Your pet cannot tell us if they don't feel well. This exam detects any hidden health issue that could complicate anesthesia.
Detects health problems before anesthesia
Pre-anesthetic Blood Panel
Complete analysis in our in-house lab: kidneys, liver, blood glucose, and proteins. Anesthesia is filtered by the liver and kidneys. If these organs are weakened, anesthesia becomes risky. This panel allows us to adapt the protocol.
Validates ability to metabolize anesthesia
General Anesthesia and Continuous Monitoring
Your pet is intubated and kept asleep with precisely dosed gas anesthesia. A technician continuously monitors ECG, oxygen, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. Intubation also protects the airways.
Maximum safety from start to finish
Intravenous Fluid Therapy
An IV catheter administers fluids continuously during the procedure and recovery. Anesthesia lowers blood pressure. IV fluids maintain optimal circulation to vital organs and promote a faster recovery.
Stabilizes blood pressure and speeds recovery
Complete Digital Dental X-rays
High-resolution X-rays of every tooth to see below the gum line. 60% of each tooth is invisible to the naked eye. Without X-rays, we could miss infections, abscesses, or diseased teeth that continue to cause pain.

Scaling, Polishing and LASER Therapy
Ultrasonic scaling above and below the gum line, then polishing each tooth to smooth the enamel. Therapeutic LASER therapy significantly reduces inflammation and pain, letting your pet eat comfortably that same evening.
