Dental Cleaning for Pets at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton
Your pet’s dental health is essential to their overall well-being. At the Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital, we provide professional dental cleaning for pets, including safe, gentle dental extractions when needed. Our humane veterinary team is here to help you prevent dental disease before it becomes a painful or costly issue.
Whether your dog is living with diabetes or your cat is managing thyroid disease, our veterinary team provides experienced care focused on improving your pet’s comfort, health, and quality of life.
Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common—and most overlooked—health problems in both cats and dogs. Tartar buildup, gum infections, and broken teeth can lead to serious complications, including:
- Chronic pain
- Tooth loss
- Oral infections
- Damage to vital organs like the heart and kidneys
That’s why we recommend routine cat and dog teeth cleaning visits and dental exams for every pet, especially as they age.
What to Expect During a Dental Appointment
Our dental care services begin with a full oral exam to check for signs of:
- Gingivitis or gum disease
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Loose or broken teeth
- Bad breath and oral discomfort
If your pet requires a cleaning, we use ultrasonic scaling and polishing—just like your own dental visit. Cleanings are performed under anesthesia to ensure a stress-free, pain-free experience and allow us to thoroughly clean beneath the gumline.
Gentle Dental Extractions When Needed
In cases of advanced decay or damaged teeth, our veterinarians perform dental extractions with precision and compassion. We use advanced pain management and provide post-op support to help your pet recover quickly and comfortably.
Long-Term Oral Health Support
After the procedure, we’ll provide:
- Brushing and home care tips
- Dental chews and oral rinses
- Water additives to support ongoing health
Regular dental care doesn’t just freshen breath—it helps your pet eat comfortably, reduces health risks, and improves quality of life.
