Dentistry - CBS Animal Hospital

If you’ve ever had a tooth ache or a sore in your mouth, you know how it affects your overall happiness and ability to properly function. This is no different for your pet, except they can’t tell you. Just like us, your pet’s oral health affects their entire health too!

If their mouth is suffering, that bacterium is filtering throughout their entire body, affecting their major organs. Unhealthy, cracked, rotting, or tartar encased teeth, inflamed and sore gums…they all contribute to pain, and lead to worse illnesses and even behaviour issues.

Did you know that a large majority of issues are below the gum line? You can’t see them but they can be extremely painful and will slowly creep their way upward, destroying the tooth. That’s why proper veterinary dentistry is so important.

Each dental procedure includes a full set of dental x-rays. This ensures we identify every lesion present and therefore eliminate and prevent oral pain for your pet.

Impact of Oral Health on Pets

Consequences of Neglected Oral Health

Untreated dental problems in pets can lead to serious consequences beyond just tooth pain. Bacteria from the mouth can spread to major organs, causing systemic health issues. Conditions like unhealthy teeth, gum inflammation, and tartar buildup can contribute to pain and behavior changes in pets.
The Importance of Veterinary Dentistry

Many dental issues in pets originate below the gum line, making them difficult to detect without professional examination. Proper veterinary dentistry is essential for identifying and treating these hidden problems before they worsen.
Comprehensive Dental Procedures

At CBS Animal Hospital, our dental procedures include a thorough examination and a full set of dental x-rays. These x-rays allow us to identify lesions and other issues below the gum line, ensuring comprehensive treatment and prevention of oral pain for your pet.
