Pet Dentistry in Bend, OR

At East Bend Animal Hospital, we understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s oral health. Dental disease is common in pets, and early intervention can prevent serious health problems. Regular pet dentistry care helps your pet stay comfortable and healthy for years to come.

Why Pet Dentistry Matters

Dental health plays a key role in your pet’s overall well-being. Did you know that 75% of dogs and cats will develop some form of dental disease by age three? Poor oral hygiene can lead to painful tooth decay, gum disease, and even systemic infections affecting organs like the heart and kidneys. By ensuring your pet receives regular pet teeth cleaning and checkups, you can help prevent these issues.

Signs Your Pet Needs Dental Care

It’s important to monitor your pet’s behavior and appearance for signs of dental problems. Symptoms that may indicate your pet needs a dental exam include:

Bad breath
Plaque or tartar buildup around the gum line
Swollen, bleeding, or discolored gums
Loose or missing teeth
Difficulty eating or chewing
Excessive drooling or pawing at the mouth

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to book an appointment with a pet dentist at East Bend Animal Hospital.

Comprehensive Pet Dentistry Services

We provide a range of services to keep your pet’s mouth healthy, from preventive care to more advanced treatments.

Routine Pet Teeth Cleaning & Examinations

Dental Cleanings: We remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Oral Examinations: We conduct thorough exams under anesthesia, evaluating your pet’s gums, teeth, and overall oral health.

Advanced Diagnostic & Treatment Services

Digital X-rays: Using advanced digital radiography, we can view your pet’s teeth and gums below the surface to identify issues like tooth root damage, infections, and bone loss.
Extractions: For pets with severely damaged or infected teeth, we provide safe extractions to alleviate pain and prevent further problems.
Bonded Sealants: We offer bonded sealants for minor defects in your pet’s teeth to help protect the area and prevent further damage. If the tooth pulp is exposed, extraction is typically recommended to avoid pain and the risk of a future tooth abscess.

Education on Oral Health Maintenance: At East Bend Animal Hospital, we believe that good dental hygiene starts at home. Our team will educate you on how to care for your pet’s teeth between visits. We provide guidance on brushing techniques, as well as recommendations for dental products that can help maintain your pet’s oral health.
