Dental Care at Little Critters Veterinary Hospital in Gilbert, AZ

Pet Dental Care in Gilbert & Mesa, AZ

Little Critters Veterinary Hospital understands that periodontal disease can lead to other disease problems in your pet's body and is often a source of hidden pain. As a result, we are preemptive in working with you to keep your pet's mouth healthy. Most pets do not receive regular tooth brushing, which leads to periodontal disease. Just think about the results if a person never brushes - yikes. We work with you to develop a home care program that fits your needs and may include brushing, antiseptic rinses, antiseptic gel, probiotics, natural care, water additives, food, and the proper chews. 

When we determine that a professional dental cleaning is needed, we ensure that the pet's overall health needs are met to achieve the best possible outcome. All our professional dental cleanings include an antiseptic rinse, a fluoride rinse, hand scaling, ultrasound scaling, polishing, and probing, with the doctor examining each tooth. 

Additionally, all pets receive a complete set of digital dental X-rays using the new ScanX system. This system is unique in veterinary medicine for using soft, flexible phosphor plates in various sizes to ensure comfort and maximum detail. The set of professional digital dental X-rays is vital for detecting hidden conditions, such as a tooth root abscess, and for tracking your pet's oral health over time.
