Healthy Smiles for Healthier Pets

Why Pet Dental Health Matters

Oral health plays a major role in your pet’s overall well-being. Without proper care, dental disease can lead to pain, infection, and even problems affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. At Hub City Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care to help prevent and treat oral health issues in dogs and cats.

Dental Probing: Detecting Hidden Disease

Dental probing is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess the health of your pet’s gums and supporting tooth structures. With a periodontal probe, our veterinarians gently measure the space between the tooth and gum to detect early signs of periodontal disease, bone loss, or root exposure. Since pets cannot tolerate this procedure while awake, probing is performed under anesthesia during dental cleanings. This step allows us to identify problems early and create targeted treatment plans.

Dental Radiography (Pet Dental X-Rays)

Not all dental problems are visible on the surface. That’s why we use dental radiography (X-rays) to examine the roots, jawbone, and structures beneath the gumline. Digital X-rays allow us to:

  • Detect fractured or damaged teeth
  • Identify bone loss caused by periodontal disease
  • Locate abscesses or infections below the surface
  • Guide surgical planning for extractions

With this technology, we can diagnose hidden conditions that might otherwise go untreated, ensuring your pet receives complete dental care.

Surgical Extractions

Sometimes, damaged or diseased teeth cannot be saved and must be removed to protect your pet’s health. Our veterinarians are skilled in performing safe, precise surgical extractions when needed. Each procedure is done under anesthesia with advanced monitoring to ensure safety and comfort. After surgery, we provide pain management and clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery. Removing painful teeth often leads to immediate improvement in appetite, energy, and overall quality of life.
