Veterinary Dentistry in Davie, FL
Just like people, pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and pain-free. At Aycock Veterinary Clinic, we offer expert veterinary dentistry services to help your pets enjoy strong teeth, fresh breath, and a better quality of life.
Why Pet Dental Care Matters
Did you know that more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age three? Dental disease (also known as periodontal disease) is one of the most common health issues in pets, and one of the most preventable.
Left untreated, plaque and bacteria can build up below the gumline, leading to:
- Painful inflammation and infection
- Gum recession and tooth loss
- Bad breath and difficulty eating
- Damage to internal organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver
Routine pet dental care is essential to stopping this progression early and avoiding unnecessary suffering or costly procedures later on.
Comprehensive Pet Dental Care Services at Aycock Veterinary Clinic
Our team offers a full range of veterinary dentistry services using modern tools and gentle techniques to keep your pet safe and comfortable:
Dental Exams & Assessments
Every dental care journey begins with a thorough oral exam. We assess your pet’s teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth for signs of disease, tartar, broken teeth, or oral masses.
Professional Cat and Dog Teeth Cleaning
Under safe anesthesia, we perform a deep dental cleaning that includes:
- Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar
- Polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and reduce future buildup
- Subgingival cleaning (below the gumline) to treat hidden bacteria
- Full oral charting and dental x-rays to detect issues that are not visible
Pet Oral Surgery (When Needed)
If infection or tooth damage is severe, we may recommend oral surgery. This could include extractions, abscess drainage, or treatment of oral tumors. Our team uses pain management protocols and provides full post-op care guidance to ensure your pet’s comfort and recovery.
Home Dental Care Guidance
We’ll teach you how to maintain your pet’s dental health at home through brushing, dental chews, and special diets. Preventive care starts with daily habits, and we’ll show you how to do them right.
Common Signs of Pet Dental Problems
Pets are experts at hiding discomfort. Keep an eye out for these signs that your dog or cat may need dental attention:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup
- Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Drooling or pawing at the mouth
