Dental Cleaning

Oral health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, dental cleaning is part of our preventive care to reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. Pets often hide dental discomfort, so routine check-ups can catch issues early, supporting better long-term health.

Polishing

After a dental cleaning, polishing helps smooth the surface of your pet’s teeth. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, this process minimizes future plaque buildup by removing microscopic scratches where bacteria can settle. Polishing not only enhances cleanliness but also supports fresh breath and healthier gums. Regular polishing as part of dental care can extend the time between cleanings.

Extraction

In cases of severe decay, infection, or broken teeth, extraction may be necessary to relieve pain and prevent further health issues. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, tooth extractions are performed with care, focusing on comfort and recovery. Recognizing symptoms like difficulty eating, drooling, or swelling can indicate the need for evaluation. Proper aftercare supports healing and helps pets return to normal activities.

Scaling

Dental scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, we use scaling tools to clean both above and below the gum line, addressing areas that regular brushing might miss. Scaling helps reduce the risk of infections and supports healthier gums. Regular dental check-ups allow for timely intervention.

Dental Prophylactic

Dental prophylactic care focuses on preventing dental diseases before they develop. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, this includes regular cleanings, polishing, and scaling to maintain oral health. Preventive care helps reduce the chances of gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. Starting early with dental hygiene can improve your pet’s comfort and health as they age.

Dental X-Ray

Not all dental issues are visible during routine exams. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, dental X-rays help identify hidden problems such as tooth root infections, bone loss, and impacted teeth. This imaging allows veterinarians to understand the full scope of dental health, guiding more effective treatment plans. Regular dental X-rays support early detection of potential concerns.

Dental Surgery

Oral health is a crucial part of your pet’s overall well-being. At Midtown Veterinary Hospital, we offer dental surgeries for conditions like tooth decay, abscesses, and gum disease. Regular dental care, combined with surgical intervention when necessary, helps prevent pain and infection. Signs like bad breath or difficulty eating may indicate dental issues that require attention.
