Dentistry is dedicated to the maintenance of sound oral health and treatment for diseases of the animal's mouth, teeth and jaw. Dogwood Veterinary Hospital & Pet Resort offers full dental care including simple cleanings, periodontitis treatments, and extractions. With the use of diagnostic tests, such as radiographs, the 70% of the tooth that cannot be seen by the naked eye can be evaluated. Oral tumors, jaw fractures, root abscesses and root fractures may be corrected to restore normal function.

A pet's dental condition is an important part of his or her overall health, but is one of the most commonly overlooked areas of veterinary health care.

Dogwood veterinarians will provide your pet with excellent dental care and will offer you pertinent information to ensure proper dental care throughout every stage of your pet's life.

The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by age three. Dental disease can affect not only the mouth, but may progress to very serious health problems affecting the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Your Dogwood veterinary team will be certain that your companion animal receives proper dental care.
