Oral Health Concerns

Annual teeth cleaning procedures are recommended for addressing concerns such as bad breath and maintaining oral hygiene. At Sanctuary Veterinary Hospital, we prioritize exceptional animal dentistry care. If you have any worries about your pet's oral health, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us for a thorough evaluation.

When to Seek Pet Dentistry

Regular dental check-ups are vital to ensuring your pet's oral health. Young pets should have annual dental exams, while older pets, typically over nine years old, benefit from biannual veterinary dentistry appointments. Your veterinarian will tailor a check-up schedule to meet your pet's specific needs and ensure their oral well-being.

Pets require regular dental care for several reasons

Veterinary dentistry is essential for maintaining your cat or dog's overall health, even when they show no signs of pain. Animals often conceal discomfort instinctively, making regular veterinary visits crucial for detecting and preventing hidden dental issues.
