Pet Dental Prophylaxis
in Rolling Meadows, IL
Veterinary Dental Services
Our veterinarians provide veterinary dental services, including routine cleaning and polishing (dental prophylaxis) and surgical extractions to manage and treat severe oral disease conditions.
When dental problems and oral diseases are diagnosed, sometimes a dental procedure may be necessary. Arlington Park Veterinary Hospital is equipped with oral surgical equipment and the latest technology to provide your pet with a safe and (advanced) dental procedure.
Pet Dental Care
Routine and preventive dental care is vital to your pet’s long-term health. Pets with poor oral hygiene can develop periodontal disease, which can often lead to heart, lung, and kidney disease. Arlington Park Veterinary Hospital offers a full range of dental services for pets, including dental examinations, dental extractions, and oral surgery, as well as home care instructions for keeping your pet’s teeth clean and healthy.
Routine Pet Dental Examinations
Our veterinarians perform basic oral exams on all our patients during their comprehensive physical exams. Puppies and kittens will be examined to detect any problems related to the deciduous (baby) teeth, missing or extra teeth, swellings, and oral development. Senior pets will be evaluated for developmental anomalies, the accumulation of plaque and tartar, periodontal disease, and oral tumors.
Good Oral Hygiene for Pets
Dental Care Tips for Dogs and Cats:
- Schedule a dental oral exam for your dog or cat every year
- Schedule regular dental cleanings as recommended by your veterinarian
- Brush your pet’s teeth daily, or if every other day, give your pet a dental hygiene chew
- Serve dog or cat food and treats that control tartar and plaque and promote good dental health
