Pet Dentistry in Englishtown, NJ
Routine dental care is essential to your pet’s overall quality of life, health, and wellness. Keeping your pet’s teeth clean helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup, and consistent oral care helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Our pets are experts at hiding pain, so it’s up to us to make sure they don’t suffer unnecessarily from teeth and gum problems. We recommend a dental exam at least once a year so we can catch any potential oral problems sooner rather than later.
Englishtown Vet MD provides the following dental care services:
- Dental exams
- Tooth cleaning and polishing
- Tooth extractions
- Oral growth removal
What to Expect
We are committed to providing stress-free dental care for your pet. We want your pet to be comfortable while we work on their teeth and gums, which is why all procedures are performed under anesthesia in our state-of-the-art practice.
Before the Dental Procedure
Our dental procedures are highly comprehensive and involve multiple steps to ensure your pet receives the very best care. Before every dental procedure, we provide the following for you and your pet:
- Explain the dental procedure and answer any questions
- Full medical review of your pet’s health
- Administration of customized anesthesia and pain medication
During the Dental Procedure
While your pet is under anesthesia, we evaluate your pet’s oral cavity, clean his or her teeth, and treat dental or oral conditions if needed. Each dental procedure includes:
- Dental examination, which involves thorough probing of each tooth and evaluation of the mouth and gums
- Dental cleaning, which entails polishing each tooth individually and removing tartar build-up
- Tooth extractions or growth removal, if needed
Your pet’s safety and comfort are our highest priority during the procedure. Our veterinary team will carefully monitor their vitals throughout the procedure to ensure your pet’s safety.
After the Dental Procedure
Good dental care doesn’t end with the procedure. At Englishtown Vet MD, we provide you with information about the procedure, as well as recommendations for a home dental care program. Home dental care education may include:
- Instruction on how to brush your pet’s teeth
- Suggestions on dental care products
- Information on the benefits of dental care for pets
We are committed to supporting your pet’s oral health in your home and in ours.
