Increasingly, chronic dental disease is being recognized as an important contributor to the development of heart disease, kidney disease, and other health problems. At Veterinary Associates, we use innovative methods—including ultrasonic scaling, fluoride treatments, injectable antibacterial gels, and enamel coatings—to treat periodontal disease, save teeth, prevent more serious problems, and improve the animal's overall health. Our dental radiology equipment allows us to evaluate root and bone health just like a human dentist does. Because prophylactic cleaning is always better than disease treatment, our trained oral hygienists, along with our doctors, will clean your pet's teeth, evaluate their oral health and, when necessary, develop a home prevention program for you.
