Cat and Dog Teeth Cleaning Hamden
When it comes to owning a pet, it’s easy to remember the little things like walking a dog or changing a litter box. Sometimes it’s the bigger things—like cat and dog teeth cleaning—that go overlooked, but did you know that a pet’s dental health is just as important as its overall health? This is due to the mouth-body connection; neglected dental health can eventually lead to gum disease, which can then affect the internal organs, if left untreated.
At Spring Glen Veterinary Clinic, we take a preventive approach to dental health for our patients, which is why we recommend annual or bi-annual wellness exams. These exams allow us to determine if your pet is in need of a cat or dog teeth cleaning or not. With regular professional dental care, you can lower or even eliminate your pet’s risk of gum disease and other oral problems.

About Cat and Dog Teeth Cleaning at Spring Glen Veterinary Clinic
Our advanced cat and dog teeth cleaning can both prevent and treat oral problems in pets. They include:
- Ultrasonic teeth cleaning and polishing
- Dental X-rays*
- Tooth extractions
- Extensive dental procedures
- Anesthesia*
*We perform all dental procedures under anesthesia for the safety of our patients, and we recommend pre-anesthetic blood work. We also use X-ray technology to view below the gum line, where most dental problems are found. As with all of our other services, we make your pet’s comfort and well-being our #1 priority, so you can have peace of mind during your pet’s dental treatment.
Symptoms of Pet Gum Disease
There are some symptoms that are linked to gum disease that are easy to detect, like chronic bad breath, but there are others that aren’t as obvious. By performing a “flip the lip” exam on your pet at home, you can be proactive about dental problems, and schedule a cleaning before any issues become serious. The following are some of the most common symptoms of gum disease in pets:
- Chronic bad breath
- Brownish yellow tartar buildup along gum line
- Gums that bleed easily
- Loose teeth
- Mouth sensitivity
If you’ve noticed any of these signs in your pet, or if you have any questions about our cat and dog teeth cleaning services in Hamden, give us a call at 203-248-2104 or book an appointment online.
