Pet Dental for Preventative Care

Preventative care is always the best care, and pet dental health is no exception to this. As with humans, pet dental problems can lead to difficulty eating and other serious health complications. At Holden Animal Clinic & Supply, we have been providing Holden residents with reliable pet dental care services for many years.

Brushing

While many pets do not enjoy having their teeth brushed, nothing else is as effective as manually cleaning your pet’s teeth using pet-specific toothpaste and a brush. Removing debris from between your pet’s teeth prevents it from developing into plaque, which can only be removed professionally. The more debris removed means the less plaque to potentially rot the enamel between dental cleanings.

Special Chews

Certain snacks and chew toys are designed to scrape your pet’s teeth. While not a full substitute for brushing, directly, dental chews are a simple and tasty way of improving your pet’s dental hygiene. Our veterinarian will recommend the best dental chews for your pet.

Regular Veterinary Visits  

Many things can go wrong in a pet’s mouth that can only be detected by a veterinary professional. Regular dental checkups with our veterinarian allow us to identify pet dental issues before they are allowed to worsen. Additionally, only a vet can remove the tartar buildup that has occurred between cleanings, which is important for promoting long-term dental health. Our vet will also answer any questions that you may have and guide you through meeting your pet’s specific dental health needs.
