A dental examination should be part of your pet’s regular health checkup. Dental problems can be prevented or treated with regular cleaning and scaling done under general anesthesia by a veterinarian.

Oral disease is the most common health problem for pets. By the age of 3, approximately 80% of dogs and 75% of cats have developed periodontal disease. Left untreated, the infection can lead to tooth decay or tooth loss and can even spread through the bloodstream and cause kidney, liver, lung, and heart problems. However, it is easily treatable and can be prevented by following a program of regular veterinary dental exams and a home dental care routine.

Common Signs of Oral Disease:

 

• Yellow-brown tartar near the gum line
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Abnormal drooling
• Pawing at the mouth
• Loose or missing teeth
• Difficulty eating or loss of appetite

We use cutting-edge surgical lasers to perform the majority of our surgical procedures. Laser surgery is recognized in human and veterinary medicine for the significant benefits it provides to both patients and surgeons. Several types of lasers are used for different applications, the carbon dioxide device is primarily used for soft tissue surgery.

Benefits of Surgical Laser:

• Reduced Pain – The CO2 laser beam seals nerve endings as it cuts through tissue. This reduces the amount of pain the patient feels during and after surgery.
• Reduced Bleeding – The CO2 laser beam cauterizes and seals small blood vessels as it cuts. This laser energy achieves hemostasis (the process which causes blood to stop) and provides the surgeon with a bloodless surgical field in most procedures.



• Reduced Swelling – There is no physical contact between the laser and the surgical region, eliminating the tearing and bruising of tissue associated with traditional surgical methods.
• Quicker recovery – As a result of all of the above, laser surgery provides a quicker recovery period.

Wellness checks and sick visits.

Ferrets are considered exotic animals. We do yearly wellness exams, spay & neuter if needed, and vaccinate for distemper and rabies yearly. (Most ferrets usually are spayed or neutered as well as descented before they are sold to pet stores).

Dental radiographs (x-rays) are very important tools available to veterinary dentists. These x-rays allow the close examination of the internal anatomy of the teeth, the roots, and the bone surrounding the teeth for a potential disease that may be occurring under the gum line. This will help determine the true health of a tooth. During a dental procedure, your pet’s entire mouth will be mapped out and evaluated using dental probes and dental x-rays. The information will help with decisions regarding the best dental care for your pet’s teeth.
