• Healthy Mouth. Healthy Pet.

    Dental health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. At Silvercreek Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care to help prevent pain, infection, and long-term health issues linked to dental disease.

    Just like humans, pets can develop plaque, tartar, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. These issues not only cause bad breath and discomfort—they can also lead to tooth loss and serious problems affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver if left untreated.

    • Bad breath

    • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth

    • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

    • Dropping food or difficulty eating

    • Pawing at the mouth

    • Loose or missing teeth

    • Full oral exams

    • Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia

    • Digital dental x-rays (optional)

    • Tooth extractions when necessary

    • At-home care guidance

  • Regular professional cleanings combined with at-home care—like dental diets, treats, or brushing—can keep your pet’s teeth healthy for years to come. We recommend annual dental checkups as part of your pet’s overall wellness plan.
