Neglected teeth can cause significant pain for pets, and in addition to an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity, they can also have a negative impact on food intake and the overall condition of your four-legged friend.
Did you know that dogs and cats can also suffer from toothaches?
Just like us, pets can be deeply troubled by dental problems.
Dental Prevention and Dental Hygiene
How to avoid teeth troubles? The simplest way is prevention. The quality of teeth is determined by the right choice of food, active care of the pet’s teeth and gums, and regular check-ups at the veterinarian. At the Horská Veterinary Clinic, we will be happy to advise you on how to care for the teeth of your dog, cat, or rodent, and show you how to clean their teeth properly.
Teeth Scaling (Removal of Tartar)
Tartar causes painful inflammation of the gums, bleeding, and tooth loss. With long-term neglect, it can even lead to heart, liver, and kidney disease. We remove tartar under general anesthesia. To slow down the build-up of dental plaque and the formation of tartar, we polish the enamel after the ultrasound treatment. This is not just a cosmetic procedure, but an extension of the treatment’s effect for the satisfaction of your pet.
Tooth Extraction
Even in an animal’s life, there comes a time when teeth need to be pulled. Because extracting a decayed, loose, or baby tooth can be unpleasant for the pet, we administer pain relief medication after the procedure.
Teeth Trimming
The continuously growing incisors of rodents need to be trimmed from time to time. For this procedure, we use a precise disc saw, which prevents damage to the tooth root and ensures the treatment is not too uncomfortable for the animal.
Dental X-ray Examination
To get an accurate picture of what is happening with the patient’s teeth, we perform a dental X-ray examination. This allows us to detect hidden decay or defects that would escape the naked eye.
Oral Surgery (Stomatosurgery)
In addition to routine dental treatment, we also perform surgical procedures in the oral cavity, such as treating jaw fractures, removing tumors, or extracting foreign bodies.
