Dental care examination

Oral health checks prevent dental disease and improve pet wellness.

Healthy mouth, healthy pet

Because bad breath isn't normal

Four out of five pets show dental disease by age three — and mouth pain hides behind "just getting older." Our dental exams grade every tooth, check gums and jaw, and map exactly what your pet needs: coaching, cleaning or treatment.

  • Tooth-by-tooth grading with dental X-rays when needed
  • Anesthesia-monitored professional cleanings
  • Hands-on brushing lessons you can do at home

How it works

Four steps to a fresh smile

1Score the mouth

Grade every tooth and photograph concerns.

2Plan honestly

Cleaning, extraction or home care — with costs upfront.

3Treat safely

Monitored anesthesia and gentle recovery.

4Keep it fresh

Rechecks and brushing practice at home.

Yes — pre-anesthetic blood work, dedicated monitoring and warmed recovery make it very safe, even for seniors. Anesthesia-free "cleanings" miss disease below the gumline.

Dropping food, chewing on one side, pawing at the mouth, bad breath or sudden head-shyness all warrant a dental look.

Most pets learn in a week with poultry-flavored paste and 30-second sessions. We'll practice with you until it feels easy.
