Professional veterinary dental care to maintain your pet's oral health and overall wellbeing throughout their life.
Dental health is a critical component of your pet's overall wellbeing, yet it's often overlooked until problems become severe. At MyPets Veterinary Urgent Care & Wellness, we believe that preventive dental care is essential for maintaining your pet's quality of life and preventing serious health complications that can arise from dental disease.
Dental disease affects over 80% of dogs and cats by age three, making it one of the most common health issues we see in veterinary practice. Left untreated, dental problems can lead to pain, tooth loss, and serious systemic infections that can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys. Our comprehensive dental care program is designed to prevent these issues and maintain optimal oral health throughout your pet's life.
Our state-of-the-art dental suite is equipped with modern ultrasonic scaling equipment, digital dental radiography, and advanced monitoring systems to ensure safe and effective dental procedures. We perform all dental cleanings under general anesthesia, which allows us to thoroughly clean below the gum line where most dental disease occurs and ensures your pet's comfort throughout the procedure.
Beyond professional cleanings, we emphasize the importance of at-home dental care and provide comprehensive education on maintaining your pet's oral hygiene between visits. From dental diets and treats to brushing techniques and oral rinses, we'll help you develop a home care routine that supports your pet's dental health.
Our experienced team is trained in both routine dental care and advanced oral surgery procedures. Whether your pet needs a routine cleaning, tooth extraction, or treatment for oral tumors, we provide compassionate, expert care with a focus on pain management and rapid recovery.

Most pets benefit from professional dental cleanings every 1-3 years, depending on their age, breed, diet, and home care routine. Smaller breeds and senior pets often need more frequent cleanings. We'll assess your pet's individual needs and recommend an appropriate schedule during their wellness exams.
Anesthesia is essential for thorough dental cleaning because it allows us to clean below the gum line where most dental disease occurs, take dental X-rays, and perform any necessary extractions safely. It also eliminates stress and discomfort for your pet during the procedure.
Warning signs include bad breath, yellow or brown tartar buildup, red or swollen gums, difficulty eating, pawing at the face, loose or missing teeth, and excessive drooling. However, many pets hide dental pain well, so regular dental exams are important even if no symptoms are visible.
Daily tooth brushing with pet-safe toothpaste is the gold standard for home dental care. Dental chews, special diets, and water additives can also help. We'll teach you proper brushing techniques and recommend products that are safe and effective for your pet.
With proper pre-anesthetic evaluation and monitoring, dental procedures can be safely performed on senior pets. In fact, dental disease often causes more health risks than the anesthesia itself. We perform thorough health assessments and use modern anesthetic protocols to minimize risks.
