Dental Care

Just like us, our pets build up plaque and tartar on their teeth which should be routinely removed. Unfortunately, they cannot brush their teeth like we do, making dental care a vital part of your pet's overall health and wellness needs.
Preventative Care
Dental disease does not only affect the teeth, but can also cause underlying issues within the heart, liver, and kidneys. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.
The most effective way to protect your pet from dental disease is through professional cleanings. We perform thorough cleanings here at Heartland Veterinary Health Center, including the area beneath the gums that you can't see or access at home.
Dental X-Ray
We offer digital radiographs as part of our dentistry services. Digital dental radiography is an important tool in assessing the health of your pet’s mouth. The location of tooth root infections, the extent of periodontal bone loss, and the identification of bone cysts and tumors can all be identified using dental X-rays. We can also find broken and retained teeth and discover cavities!
Advanced Care
Some pets may require tooth extractions. If the need should arise, our doctors are well versed in performing these extractions. Your pet will also receive a full dental cleaning during the procedure.
If your pet has brown/yellow teeth, bad breath, or is having difficulty eating, these could all be signs of dental disease. Please call us at (785) 364-4495 today to learn more and schedule your pet's dental cleaning.
