At Nonantum Veterinary Clinic, we know that oral health is more than clean teeth and fresh breath; it’s a vital part of your pet’s comfort, energy, and long-term wellness. Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in cats and dogs, and when left untreated, it can affect major organs and your pet’s quality of life. That’s why we take a proactive, thorough approach to dental care—because your pet deserves to eat, play, and smile pain-free.
Routine cleanings help keep your pet’s mouth free of pain, inflammation, and disease. Just one visit a year can make a major difference in their health, and their breath.
Our digital imaging system allows us to see what’s happening beneath the gumline and around each tooth. It’s how we catch problems early and plan treatment that resolves the issue.
If a tooth is broken, infected, or loose, removing it is generally the kindest option. We perform extractions with a steady hand and thoughtful aftercare, so your pet can heal comfortably and get back to their routine.
Yes. Bad breath is often the first sign of underlying dental disease. If their breath is consistently foul, it’s time for a dental exam.
To clean thoroughly and safely, we need your pet to be completely still and pain-free. Anesthesia allows us to clean beneath the gumline and take X-rays without stress or discomfort.
Most pets benefit from an annual cleaning, but some may need them more often depending on their age, breed, and oral health history. We’ll create a dental plan that fits your pet’s needs.
Many pets hide discomfort, but subtle changes, like chewing on one side, dropping food, or avoiding toys, can be red flags. Let us know if you’ve noticed anything new.
Absolutely! Daily brushing is ideal, but if that’s tricky, we can suggest effective alternatives like dental treats, rinses, or water additives to help reduce tartar buildup and freshen their breath.
