Dental - Family Vet Care of Oakdale

A Keystone of Health

Dental care for dogs and cats.

More life. More love. More memories.

The Family Veterinary Care of Oakdale team is passionate about pet dental health, because we know that this aspect of pet care is crucial for your furry pal’s wellbeing. Periodontal disease affects most pets by 3 years of age, and left untreated, dental conditions cause pain and suffering. Our veterinary facility offers routine dental care and advanced oral treatments and procedures to maintain your pet’s dental health.

Comprehensive oral health assessment and cleaning

Routine dental cleanings are recommended for all dogs and cats. To maximize safety and reduce stress and pain, your pet will be anesthetized for their dental procedure, during which our highly skilled team will assess your pet’s oral health, remove plaque and tartar, polish their teeth, and check the health of each tooth and its supporting structures.

Comprehensive pet dental care in Oakdale

Dental home care

You can reduce your pet’s need for dental cleanings and oral surgery by maintaining a home care regimen that reduces plaque and tartar. We stock and recommend a variety of safe, effective, easy-to-use pet dental products for your daily routine.

Dental radiographs

Two-thirds of your pet’s teeth are hidden below the gumline, where most dental disease occurs. To ensure no potential problem goes undetected, our team obtains digital full-mouth X-rays for all dental patients. These films are included in the procedure cost, because we know that we cannot provide our desired level of care without them.

Oral surgery

Pets often use their mouths extensively, engaging in activities such as grooming, playing, eating, and exploring, which can strain their dental health. This can lead to various conditions, including fractures, abscesses, tooth resorption, and oral tumors. To address these issues, oral surgery, including tooth extraction, may be necessary. Our veterinary team conducts thorough examinations and utilizes local anesthetic nerve blocks and multi-modal pain control strategies to ensure your pet recovers comfortably from anesthesia.
