Pet Dental Advice from a Veterinary Dentist
Northfield provides veterinary dental services in Dubai for dogs and cats, and addresses the concerns of pet owners. The best veterinary dentists at Northfield Center offers exceptional pet dental care for your pets.
Dental Prophylaxis in Cats and Dogs is really just a professional teeth cleaning. Not the kind you do at home or at a groomer—this is done by a vet dentist, and your pet is under anesthesia, so it can be done safely and thoroughly.
If your pet has bad breath, red gums, or seems to avoid harder foods, it might be time to check on their dental health. Many pet owners search for pet dental prophylaxis or dental care services nearby when they notice these signs. However, even without any noticeable symptoms, it’s a good idea to have veterinarian dentist examine your pet’s teeth at least once a year.
Understanding tooth root abscesses in pets is essential. Common signs include bad breath, excessive drooling, or facial swelling, which often indicate a hidden infection beneath the gumline. Tooth root abscesses can be painful and may allow bacteria to spread throughout the body if left untreated.
Periodontal disease is the most common underlying cause. As bacteria accumulate under the gumline, inflammation loosens tissue attachments and allows deeper infection. Over time, this bacteria migrates into the root canal system. Fractured teeth are another leading cause. A broken tooth exposes the pulp cavity, creating a direct pathway for bacterial invasion. Other reasons include chewing hard objects, wear from abrasive toys or materials, and age-related dental wear.
Periodontal disease (ie, loss of supporting gums or bone) can be treated by surgery to eliminate infection and retain the affected tooth/teeth. Periodontal probing and dental x-rays will identify periodontal disease (loss of supporting gums or bone).
During Periodontal surgeries for pets, with the patient anesthetized, the veterinarian will numb the area around the affected teeth to minimize any discomfort. They will then make an incision in the gum tissue to access the infected or damaged tissue.
Periodontal surgery in pets can be an effective way to treat periodontal disease and help improve your pet’s overall dental health.
Consult a veterinary dentist for the best treatment options tailored to your pet’s needs.
Endodontic treatment is therapy directed toward the pulp tissue (nerve and blood vessels) in the center of a tooth in an effort to preserve the tooth and not perform an extraction. There are many causes of endodontic disease in dogs and cats. However, trauma to the mouth and teeth is the most common.
A fractured tooth with pulp exposure is a painful experience for the animal; however, the pet will rarely exhibit oral pain. Since pain significantly increases when the pet chews, they may stop playing with their toys, but most pets will continue eating.
It’s important to note that not all teeth or pets are suitable candidates for endodontic therapy. If your pet has a fractured or discolored tooth, please let our vet dentists assess the situation to determine if a root canal is a viable treatment option for your dog or cat.
Prosthodontics in dogs and cats is a specialized field of dentistry focused on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. Its main functions include designing and manufacturing dental prosthetics, restoring aesthetics and facial harmony, and ensuring that animals can properly perform essential functions like swallowing.
There are four branches of prosthodontics, which focus on treating different parts of the jaw or mouth:
1
Physical examination of your pet’s teeth and checking for plaque, tartar, gum inflammation, abnormal growths, and any loose or fractured teeth.
2
Taking a patient history, such as your pet’s bad breath, eating habits, and even digestive issues.
3
Dental radiographs are used to detect underlying problems in your pet’s mouth and teeth.
