High-Quality Dental Care for Lifelong Health
Dental disease is one of the most common medical conditions affecting pets, yet it often goes unnoticed until it causes pain or infection. At Littlepage Animal Hospital, dentistry is a core part of our commitment to high-quality, preventive veterinary medicine.
Healthy mouths support healthy hearts, kidneys, and overall comfort. Our goal is to identify dental disease early and treat it thoroughly and safely.
Our Dental Services
Our comprehensive dental care includes:
- Complete oral examinations
- Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia
- Full-mouth digital dental radiographs
- Periodontal disease assessment
- Surgical and non-surgical tooth extractions when needed
- Multimodal pain management before, during, and after procedures
We use modern anesthesia and monitoring protocols to keep your pet safe and comfortable throughout their dental procedure.
Why Anesthesia Is Necessary
A thorough and effective dental cleaning cannot be performed on an awake pet. Anesthesia allows us to clean beneath the gumline, obtain dental X-rays, and address painful disease safely and humanely.
Our team will always discuss anesthetic recommendations, pre-anesthetic testing, and individualized risk factors with you before your pet's procedure.
At-Home Dental Care
Preventive dental care doesn't stop at the hospital. We work with you to create a realistic at-home plan, which may include:
- Tooth brushing guidance
- Dental diets or chews
- Oral health products recommended by our team
